It doesn't matter who Satoshi Nakamoto is or was, are or were.
That's the point of the newly revealed art piece in Ciani Park, Lugano, Switzerland. The metal statue, almost completely transparent from the front, was 21 months in the making by Italian artist and bitcoiner Valentina Picozzi.
Unveiled during the Plan Forum in October 2024, the installation, Picozzi said, is supposed "to give to the viewer this feeling of disappearance, and the sense that the inventor stays between the lines." The cloaked silhouette of the super-coder it depicts pays homage to the crypto-anarchist(s) who made bitcoin—and then immortalized it by disappearing.
