Recently, a puzzling incident occurred in the crypto world. The Satoshi statue located in Lugano, Switzerland was stolen, and this news quickly attracted widespread attention within the industry.
The incident was initially disclosed by social media user @Grittoshi. According to reports, only two holes were left on the metal pedestal where the statue was originally placed, and the sculpture itself has vanished without a trace. There are speculations that the thief may have thrown the sculpture into a nearby lake.
In response, the planning party of the statue, Satoshigallery, quickly made a statement. They announced on social media that they are willing to offer 0.1 bitcoin as a reward for anyone who can assist in recovering the statue. Satoshigallery also stated that although the iconic item has been stolen, it does not shake their belief. They will continue to be committed to the plan of placing Satoshi Nakamoto statues in 21 locations around the world.
It is worth mentioning that just before the statue was stolen, Satoshigallery had just unveiled the third statue of Satoshi Nakamoto in Tokyo, Japan. In addition to the stolen statue in Lugano, Switzerland, there is also a statue of Satoshi Nakamoto standing in El Salvador, which is known as the 'country of Bitcoin'.
This theft has raised many questions among industry insiders. It is well known that Satoshi Nakamoto is the mysterious founder of Bitcoin, and his true identity remains a mystery to this day. Against this backdrop, someone took the risk of stealing a statue that represents him, and their motives are puzzling.
Currently, the police are investigating this case. Regardless of the thief's intentions, this incident undoubtedly adds a touch of mystery to the crypto world. It not only spurred renewed discussions about Satoshi Nakamoto's identity but also highlights the symbolic significance of Bitcoin in today's society.
As the investigation deepens, more details are expected to gradually come to light. In any case, this bizarre theft has become a unique episode in the history of Crypto Assets, worthy of our continued follow-up on its developments.
