Ridiculous! The "Satoshi Nakamoto Statue" in Lugano, Switzerland was stolen right after its unveiling!

This is too surreal... In the early hours of today, the much-anticipated Satoshi Nakamoto statue in Ciani Park, Lugano, Switzerland, was completely stolen! It’s worth noting that this statue was just unveiled on October 25 by Tether and the Lugano city government, as an important project of the "Plan B" initiative, and less than a month later, it met this unfortunate fate.

This statue is quite significant, being an artwork created by Italian artist Valentina Piccioni, who spent 18 months researching and 3 months constructing it. The design concept is very avant-garde, using abstract methods to express the mystery of the Bitcoin founder. Now, it has become the "most hardcore performance art" — Satoshi Nakamoto has vanished without a trace, and now even the statue has gone missing...

Local police have already launched an investigation, but no clues have been found yet. Ironically, the city of Lugano, where this statue was located, is a well-known "crypto-friendly city" in Europe, and Tether has promoted several blockchain projects here. Following this incident, netizens are having a field day with jokes: "This must have been done by Satoshi himself!" "Decentralized to the point where even the statue leaves no trace"...

The city government's reaction is rather amusing, with a spokesperson stating, "This will not affect our determination to promote cryptocurrency applications." But to be honest, with such poor security measures, who would dare to set up public art installations here in the future? The entire internet is now waiting for updates, wondering whether this was a prank or intentional vandalism, and it’s expected that answers will soon emerge.
