Monument to Satoshi Nakamoto Unveiled in Buenos Aires During LABITCONF 2026

On October 29, 2026, a significant new monument titled “The Genesis of Satoshi Nakamoto” was unveiled in downtown Buenos Aires as part of the Open Fest at LABITCONF 2026. This 2.4-meter multi-dimensional cube was created by Bitcoin.ar through the Premio B·Arte and aims to blend art, technology, and education to explore Bitcoin’s core principles.

The inauguration featured remarks from Rodolfo Andragnes, co-founder of Bitcoin.ar, and a musical performance by Mayumaná. The monument serves as a tribute to Satoshi Nakamoto, the enigmatic figure behind Bitcoin, and is designed to provide an artistic and educational experience for visitors.

The structure comprises five faces, each representing different aspects of Bitcoin. One face highlights the anonymity of Satoshi Nakamoto, while another illustrates Bitcoin’s programmed scarcity through a Fibonacci sequence, symbolizing the halving process that regulates Bitcoin issuance. Additional faces incorporate elements from Bitcoin's foundational white paper and the genesis block, anchoring Bitcoin's history in time.

Artists Ricardo Alonso and Celeste Difabio Videla, who won the Premio B·Arte, crafted the monument from stainless steel and glass, with contributions from various local teams. Andragnes expressed pride in leaving a cultural legacy for future generations, emphasizing the monument's role as a resource for education and community engagement.

Through this initiative, Bitcoin.ar aims to foster curiosity about Bitcoin’s history and principles, making the monument a permanent fixture for schools, families, and visitors interested in the evolution of money and technology.
