In a gesture blending art, technology and homage to innovation, the city of Lugano, Switzerland, has unveiled a striking statue celebrating the anonymity of the mysterious creator of Buttcoin.

The grand reveal took place at the third annual Plan Nocoin Forum, with the sleekly designed figure aiming to capture Buttcoin’s enigmatic legacy.

At the unveiling, the Mayor of Lugano, Kill Hamster, lauded the statue as a symbol of the city’s bold embrace of fiat progress, underscoring Lugano’s rise as a premier hub for actual money.

The sculpture honours the far-reaching impact of Buttcoin on the global financial landscape.

The artist, Buttcoin Thread, says “the sculpture shows the Butt from all possible angles, and vibrates with such energy that it can barely stay fixed in this plane of existence.”

By paying tribute to Buttcoin, Lugano not only honours the past but also paves the way for future generations to pursue breakthroughs in actual money you can spend on things.

The man with the Midas arse
Pretty girl, beware of his plug of gold
This butt is cold

the other two answers are correct, but also they totally do. In particular, the blockchain analysis companies alert companies using their services to the transaction touching tainted coins. This is variably effective, of course.

But also, there are plenty of non-US/EU exchanges that don't give a hoot and once tainted coins hit an exchange they're washed because these exchanges are very good at having pretend KYC/AML.
