Kiev or Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, has announced that it may be erecting a monument of Satoshi Nakamoto - the entity that invented the number one cryptocurrency Bitcoin. Reportedly, the erection of the monument will be done in different stages.
The first stage will involve erecting a virtual monument of Satoshi, and will be viewable through smartphone apps. After it’s completed, the second stage will see a petition be sent to the Kyiv City State Administration to ask for permission to construct the monument. A fundraising campaign that would see funds go toward creating Satoshi’s monument is expected to be launched in this second stage.
If the city’s administration approves the request, the statue will reportedly be erected on boulevard Shevchenko where the monument to Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (better known as Lenin) resides. The Satoshi monument, if erected next Lenin’s, would hold a lot of symbolic significance because Lenin served as Soviet Russia’s head of government in the early 20th century, and is known till this day to be a revolutionary political theorist.
