First-Ever Satoshi Nakamoto Monument Celebrates 3-Year Anniversary: Details

As a seasoned analyst with a decade-long career in the ever-evolving world of finance and technology, I find myself both humbled and inspired by Hungary’s bold step in honoring Satoshi Nakamoto, the enigmatic figure who sparked a revolution in digital currencies.


2022 marks a significant event that reverberates through the halls of cryptocurrency lore, as Budapest, Hungary, exults over the third anniversary of the world’s initial statue dedicated to Satoshi Nakamoto, the clandestine innovator behind Bitcoin (BTC). This monument, unveiled in 2021, was meticulously crafted by the imaginative talents of sculptors Gergely Réka and Tamás Gilly.

The statue depicts only the upper part of a figure, featuring a contemplative face concealed beneath a hoodie sporting the Bitcoin symbol. This artwork symbolically represents the idea that “we all are Satoshi,” suggesting that advancements and innovations are the culmination of efforts by many individuals.

Supported by notable figures in Hungarian cryptocurrency, like Mr. Coin, Kripto Akademia, the Hungarian Blockchain Association, and Blockchain Budapest, the “Statue of Satoshi” stands as a potent emblem of the cooperative energy fueling technological advancements.

In October’s end, a significant event lies ahead for Bitcoin in relation to Satoshi Nakamoto, as it will be exactly 16 years since the publication of the Bitcoin Whitepaper – a crucial document detailing the idea and technology underlying the very first cryptocurrency by Satoshi Nakamoto.
