\u201cWhoever he or she was, Bitcoin creates value, and particularly the technology that underpins Bitcoin, blockchain,\u201d Gyrfi remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the ceremony, Debreczeni Barnab\u00e1s, CEO of Hungarian crypto exchange<\/a> Shinrai, also spoke, saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSatoshi Nakamoto has created an independent money free of any middlemen that empowered people with financial sovereignty [\u2026] We have erected this statue to remind ourselves courage is a virtue. We need to keep on dreaming big.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The statue, which was first shown in May and was sculpted by sculptors Gergely R\u00e9ka and Tam\u00e1s Gilly, was purposefully made with a mirrored visage, implying to viewers that “we are all Satoshi.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cStatue of Satoshi\u201d project has received support from Mr. Coin, Kripto Akademia, the Blockchain Hungary Association, and Blockchain Budapest<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Satoshi's portrait will be displayed in the park among statues of Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, and other significant figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite years of conjecture regarding Satoshi's identity and appearance, no one has been able to positively identify the Bitcoin founder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
