Satoshi Nakamoto statue lands on NYSE in sign of changing times
A statue of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto was installed at the New York Stock Exchange, symbolizing crypto's growing acceptance.Summary
Valentina Picozzi’s “disappearing” statue of Satoshi Nakamoto has been installed at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), marking a significant shift from when cryptocurrency was considered taboo on Wall Street. The installation, facilitated by Bitcoin company Twenty One Capital, signifies the NYSE as "shared ground between emerging systems and established institutions." Artist Picozzi expressed that placing the sixth of 21 planned statues in such a prominent location was "Mind-blowing." This event coincides with the anniversary of the Bitcoin mailing list launched by Nakamoto in December 2008. The article notes Bitcoin's evolution from a thought experiment to a mainstream asset, contrasting early skepticism with current institutional adoption via ETFs and direct holdings. Picozzi intends to place 21 statues globally, referencing Bitcoin's 21 million supply limit, with the artwork designed to evoke the feeling of disappearance, honoring Nakamoto's presence within the Bitcoin code.
