How is this relevant to the Bitcoin Discussion?

I've noticed something that I haven't seen mentioned. I'd like your help identifying the symbol on Dorian Nakamoto's hat in the picture in this link (as well as if the site/pic looks legit).

The most obvious and likely explanation would be that it is related to railway signs. So far I haven't been able to locate any just like that though.
The closest thing I have been able to find to it so far is the anarcho-capitalist flag:

In fact if you google image search for anarcho-capitalist hats and merchandise you will find things that like this:

I had never seen the anarcho-capitalist flag until I started to look for symbols that could be circular with half gold/yellow and half black like the one on Dorian's hat. The fact that the black and yellow were on the correct sides and at the correct angle made them the closest match of ANY images I could find. BUT, Dorian's hat is not exactly the same in that the design has an outer circle. I would like to know what this hat and symbol represents. Maybe it's something obvious and you can tell me what an idiot I am for not knowing what it is. Thank you for any help with this!

Gold-black bisected flag
The 'black-and-yellow' or 'black-and-gold' flag is used by anarcho-capitalists and other market anarchists. Like other anarchist flags, this flag is bisected diagonally. The right half in black is for anarchy and the yellow is intended to symbolise gold, a commodity of exchange often used in marketplaces unrestricted by state intervention. The flag was first used in public in Colorado in 1963 at an event organised by Robert LeFevre at Rampart College.[1]
