The Italian village of Fornelli will inaugurate a monument in honor of Satoshi Nakamoto

On May 1st, Satoshi Nakamoto, the enigmatic creator of Bitcoin (BTC), will receive a new monument in his honor. This time, one must travel to Italy, to the small medieval village of Fornelli.

With 1,800 souls, it would actually be proportionally the village with the highest adoption of Bitcoin in the world, according to the municipality. As a result, the tribute seems logical, and it is the local artist Mattia Pannoni who launched this initiative, funded by the municipality:

A monument designed and created by Mattia Pannoni that represents a hymn to freedom and everything that Bitcoin stands for. The idea is to create the first Bitcoin village in the world. Indeed, currently, in Fornelli, 24 businesses already accept payment in Bitcoin thanks to a specially designed infrastructure for this type of payment.
