A statue honoring Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, was stolen in Lugano, Switzerland, raising alarm in the crypto community. Symbolizing Bitcoin’s anonymity, the statue mysteriously disappeared, prompting organizers at SatoshiGallery to offer a 0.1 BTC reward for any helpful information. It was later found broken near the Lugano waterfront. While the thief remains unknown, the incident has drawn attention to the growing cultural importance of Bitcoin and its symbols, even as questions remain about the motive behind the act.
