Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of bitcoin, is one of the most intriguing and fascinating figures of our time.
How could he be anonymous in an era where everybody is traced and tracked?
This statue is a tribute to the mysterious person who’s behind the bitcoin protocol.
The statue itself wants to give to the viewer this feeling of disappearance, and the sense that the inventor stays between the lines - as of today Satoshi exists in the lines of the bitcoin code, allowing humanity to have the first decentralized payment system.
It represents an hacker in his stereotyped pose, sitting with the laptop on his legs, and is a tribute to all the developers and programmers around the world that helped building the bitcoin ecosystem, fighting for transparency and freedom.
