Miami Welcomes Bitcoin’s Ghost in Bronze 😂

by

Ah, Miami, where sunburns and speculation reign supreme. The city has now added another oddity to its roster: a bronze statue of Satoshi Nakamoto, the enigmatic architect of Bitcoin. One imagines the ghost of Marx chuckling from the sidelines, sipping a coconut water margarita.

Thanks to Brandon Lutnick and Michael Saylor, two men who’ve made a career of betting on chaos, the statue has landed. A tweet from LaDoger, the digital age’s most enthusiastic herald, declared the arrival with the enthusiasm of a child spotting cotton candy at a circus: “NEW: Brandon Lutnick and Michael Saylor installed a brand new statue of Satoshi Nakamoto in Miami 😍” – because nothing says “legacy” like a 20-foot-tall QR code.

The statue, crafted by Valentina Picozzi (a name that sounds like it belongs in a Renaissance gallery, not a blockchain forum), is a marvel of optical trickery. From one angle, Satoshi’s profile emerges like a riddle solved. From another, it vanishes-just like your savings during a bear market. Five cities now host these statues, a global game of “spot the ghost” for crypto’s most elusive figure.

Lutnick, ever the showman, crowed about the installation on X: “Satoshi has come to the US, So proud to bring this powerful sculpture to the city of Miami.” One wonders if Satoshi, were he real, would prefer a quiet coffee shop or a bronze monument that’s stolen and recovered within months.

Saylor, the Bitcoin bard, continues his symphony of accumulation, recently shelling out $49.9 million for 487 BTC. Meanwhile, the statue in Switzerland was stolen and later found in a dumpster, proving that even art has a bull and bear market.

September saw a similar unveiling in Hanoi, where locals likely wondered if the statue would fetch a better price on the black market than their morning coffee. Other cities, from El Salvador to Japan, have joined the parade, each vying for a slice of crypto’s pie-literal or metaphorical.

The original statue, unveiled in October 2024 at Plan B’s Bitcoin forum, was promptly stolen before being recovered this August. A fitting metaphor for Bitcoin itself: promising, precarious, and prone to disappearances. But perhaps that’s the point-after all, what is a legacy if not a mystery?
