Curiosities of the Crypto World:

U.Today - Another statue of the mysterious creator of Bitcoin (BTC), Satoshi Nakamoto, has emerged – this time in an unexpected place: Fornelli, Italy. It is the third identical monument to appear in the last month, following installations in El Zonte, El Salvador, and Tokyo, Japan.

But what about Fornelli? That's what stands out. The small Italian town on top of a hill is not exactly known for its innovation in cryptocurrencies. It doesn't hold technology summits or promote Bitcoin as legal tender. What it is doing now is a bold and symbolic nod to decentralization, right in its historic center.

A few weeks ago, El Zonte – or "Bitcoin Beach," as it is also called – inaugurated its own statue of Nakamoto. A few days later, one was also inaugurated in the Shibuya district of Tokyo, right in front of a large Bitcoin mural. The tribute in Tokyo seems fair, especially with all the talk about Nakamoto being Japanese and the early involvement of the country with Bitcoin.

But three statues like this, all in such rapid succession and on three continents, seem more than just a mere coincidence. It is unclear if this is a planned effort or a shared instinct among the crypto communities.

But there is a basic principle: anonymity, access, and the idea that anyone — or everyone — can be Satoshi.

There is no biography. It's just a hood, a laptop, and a bunch of metal slats. The question now is: how many more Satoshis will appear?
