statues go up
How many is this now? How many of these statues are out there in the world? It's like 3 or 4 now, maybe?
Off the top of my head, I'd say Switzerland, Japan, Brazil and Italy.
⚡️ MORE - This is the fourth satoshi gallery statue to be inaugurated, following those in Lugano, Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador and Tokyo.
Do you know who are paying for theses statues around the world? Is it the town mayor pro-bitcoin or a local bitcoiner group in the city ?
Nova estatua do Satoshi Nakamoto. Agora na Itália 👀
A primeira tinha sido feita em Budapeste (Hungria) e depois em Lugano (Suíça), mas até onde se sabe também fizeram em São Paulo (Brasil), El Zonte (El Salvador) e Tóquio (Japão).
Agora são 6 as estátuas de Satoshi conhecidas pelo mundo 😁👍
Ah, e tem mais, tem estátua do Bitcoin em Kranj, na Eslovenia, e em Málaga, na Espanha.

Jack looks good in a statue. 🤪😜
Wow! How come they placed one there? You know? These things begin to pop up everywhere now. First Hungary, then Switzerland, now Italy. Europe seems to become Satoshi Land. 😅
We are all Satoshi.
We all live in Satoshiland.

If I'm not mistaken Fornelli is the small town that made the news recently for its high number of physical shops accepting Bitcoin. You can check this on @BTC Map, the number of merchants is very high given the size of the city.
Huge props to whoever started this ⚡
Some guy there did that. Bitcoiner. Found an article about it meanwhile. Great work indeed!
We should start displaying these art installations on The Map.

Bitcoin Takes Root in Fornelli, Italy!
In a remarkable move towards digital currency adoption, the charming Italian town of Fornelli, home to just 2,000 residents, has embraced Bitcoin like never before! Thanks to the passion of local enthusiast Mattia Pannoni, nearly all merchants in this quaint community are now accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment.
From the supermarket to the bakery, barber, car mechanic, bars, restaurants, B&Bs, and even the flower shop. Twenty merchants in total are on board. Fornelli boasts more Bitcoin-accepting businesses than the bustling city of Naples, which has a population of over 1 million!
While Fornelli may not be a well-known tourist hotspot, it offers a unique glimpse into authentic Italian life, blending tradition with modernity. This small town is setting a big example for others, showcasing how communities can adapt to the digital age.
So, whether you're a local or just passing through, don’t forget to bring your Bitcoin wallet and experience the future of payments in Fornelli!

Thanks! Massive legends!
I didn't know they were mass producing these now. I find it a bit sad, I was thinking it would be a unique art piece sitting in Lugano. Couldn't they make different statue at each location, to have eqch one unique with various material and technics, possibly various artists.
Anyway, I don't think I know what art is.
I suppose its the same artist, of course. But this one looks a bit different. The one in Lugano had a laptop, but not this one (or do it looks like in the video). I'm waiting for more detailed photos.
For the moment.
It will grow with time and mass adoption.
