Argentine Bitcoiners Debut “The Genesis of Satoshi Nakamoto” Artwork in Downtown Buenos Aires

Brief

By Dextape Desk · November 6, 2026

Argentine bitcoin advocates unveiled The Genesis of Satoshi Nakamoto, a 2.4-meter multi-dimensional cube, in downtown Buenos Aires on October 29 at Polo Dot during the Open Fest of LABITCONF 2026. Bitcoin.ar drove the project through its fifth Premio B·Arte, and co-founder Rodolfo Andragnes guided attendees through the work while the band Mayumaná performed. The monument's five faces cover Satoshi's anonymity, the halving schedule that cuts miner rewards roughly every four years, the opening lines of the white paper, the genesis block, and two principles on top: verify rather than trust, and strength in numbers. Artists Ricardo Alonso and Celeste Difabio Videla of Bariloche created the steel and glass piece, which Aída Pippo coordinated. Bitcoin.ar hopes it becomes a lasting educational resource for schools, universities and visitors. Fundación Bitcoin Iberoamérica financed the project.

Why it matters: It shows bitcoin's history and principles being carried into public art spaces rather than remaining confined to screens and specialist venues.
