Emphasis on Satoshis mystery is built within the statue, with a play on perception allowing it to gradually disappear from view as ones perspective changes. The design symbolises Satoshis retreat from the public eye.
The statue of Satoshi Nakamoto stands as a testament to the revolutionary impact of Bitcoin and the idea of decentralisation. Satoshis decision to step away and let the community lead showcases the true essence of decentralisation, said Paolo Ardoino, chief executive officer of Tether.
According to Michele Foletti, the Mayor of Lugano, the statue does more than honour Satoshis legacy.
Lugano is rapidly becoming a leading hub for digital innovation, and this statue honours Satoshi Nakamoto but also embodies the forward-thinking spirit that drives our city, Foletti noted.
The disappearing statues unveiling comes a few weeks after a HBO Documentary claimed to have unmasked the Bitcoin creator. However, the man HBO Doc looks to have alluded to as the Satoshi Nakamoto that disappeared from public life all these, has come out to deny they are Satoshi.
Peter Todd, a pioneer cryptographer and early developer of Bitcoin, has even noted that the documentary has forced him underground over safety concerns.
