BlockBeats News, October 19th. According to TheBlock, Ross Calvin, CEO of the Bitcoin mining firm Parhelion, plans to build a 450-foot-tall Prometheus statue on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco, and is about to submit a proposal to Trump. This statue will far exceed the height of the Statue of Liberty (approximately 305 feet from base to torch) and will be made of a nickel-bronze alloy. The project is estimated to cost $450 million.
Alcatraz Island was once a notorious prison that was closed in 1963. Currently a national park, approval from Trump is required to build the statue at this location and establish a national monument. If completed, this statue will become a new landmark in the San Francisco Bay Area.
