I assert my right to express concern over the recent theft of the statue of Satoshi Nakamoto, which was stolen today in Lugano, Switzerland. This statue, unveiled on October 25, 2024, in Ciani Park, was not only a tribute to Bitcoin’s anonymous creator but also a symbol of innovation and financial freedom.
I acknowledge the dedication and artistic effort of Italian artist Valentina Picozzi, who invested 18 months in research and three months in its creation. The statue was a product of collaboration between Tether and the City of Lugano under the Plan B initiative—an initiative that represents a step toward financial decentralization and crypto adoption.
I recognize this act as more than mere theft—it is an affront to the values of transparency, technological progress, and decentralized empowerment that the statue embodied.
I stand in solidarity with those who respect artistic and technological contributions and demand that those responsible for this theft be brought to justice.
