It does not matter who Satoshi Nakamoto is or was, are or have been.
That is the purpose of the newly revealed artwork piece in Ciani Park, Lugano, Switzerland. The steel statue, nearly fully clear from the entrance, was 21 months within the making by Italian artist and bitcoiner Valentina Picozzi.
Unveiled through the Plan Discussion board in October 2024, the set up, Picozzi stated, is meant “to offer to the viewer this sense of disappearance, and the sense that the inventor stays between the traces.” The cloaked silhouette of the super-coder it depicts pays homage to the crypto-anarchist(s) who made bitcoin—after which immortalized it by disappearing.
