Yea, I love a good conspiracy theory but this particular evidence is kind of weak.

Weak? Weak?! When the new world order do their thing, they think of easily misreadable symbols to publish openly on their website.[/sarc]

Tor was part funded by the US Navy....
...because it also are useful for them. And government created internet too. It is funny how government creates thing that eventually turns against it and cannot be reasonably controlled.

Their name stands for Magic The Gathering Online Exchange. I see nothing wrong here, move along.
"Magic The Gathering Online Exchange" does not make any sense at all. It is a backronym http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backronym


I'm afraid that your wrong about that this time, MtGox was originally a trading site for card gaming.  I was here when that site started as a bitcoin trading site, before it was hosted in Japan.  It most certainly stood for Magic The Gathering Online Exchange.

Annnddd Thank you!! As I recall Mt. Goatse was the Joke, like a play on words kind of. It was never 'actually' Mt Goatse lol.

Ya, I think anyone can come up with a symbol and because we all as humans use objects we are familiar with to create new images we are bound to get things that come from somewhere else.


I am working on a symbol for my site. I will post my reasoning here before I create it so that if someone sees a similarity between it and some ancient pagan symbol of tyranny, they will know where its shapes spawned from.

The symbol will be a circle (why a circle? so that if I need to hand something out at trade shows, it will fit on a neat round coin...kinda like military units hand out)

At the center of the circle will be something like an explosion...like the start of a chain reaction the the beginning of a star being formed.

Around that will be a bunch of arrows pointing inward toward that explosion. Basically each arrow represents an individual coming together to create something big.

I will try to get the name of the website in there too...I have not figured that out yet.

And I am no artist so I will likely hire someone to do the design for me. They will likely use some experience from art school or somewhere else that has traditions going back centuries.

So if it turns out looking like the star of Ra the sun king or something from the Davinci code revealing that Jesus is still alive with Elvis...then that is on you to run wild with.

I was around that time too. And I remember when it started to request personal details from users and as a result of such actions became from Mt.Gox to Mt.Goatse. Mixing Bitcoins with real world rules is bad. And Mt.Gox did it in extremely bad way.


This really doesn't parse, but the whole Mt.Goatse thing was a perverse running gag, like your photo.

P.S. the image was properly censored.

Legally, yes.  We (mods) have never been the kind to be so concerned about legal demarcation lines.  Breaking social barriers, however, will get you attention.  We all know that you post that kind of stuff to get an emotional response, and that's trolling by definition.  This isn't 4chan.

I never get this whole, super secret conspiracy leaves secret symbols about the place to show everyone how awesome and secret they are, thing.

Surely if there really was a big all powerful conspiracy controlling the world, they wouldn't be dumb or petty enough to go plastering their super secret logo on everything.

Just sayin'

But this did not prevents any illegal Bitcoin use such as SR and I'm also not heard about someone busted as a result of this.

Originally it was called Mr.Goatse then changed to Mountain Goatse, Mt.Goatse and finally Mt.Gox. But the spirit of Goatse still remains. Complete and gross loss of users privacy, taking coins or funds and not releasing them until their requests are fulfilled.

Its like another Federal Reserve on steroids. You are not in control of Bitcoin only few people can mine Bitcoin which is also being controlled now. You just don't know from where, how can bitcoin come into the market. Its just a number and they can put any Number on the screen.
Translation: I don't understand how Bitcoin works, therefore neither do you.

Fuckin' Bitcoins, amirite?

I agree that original picture of Mr.Goatse would be best choice for site called Mt.Goatse. Japanese site without pictures of ninjas, kamikazes and seppuku but with some unknown mountain called Fuji? This fact alone proves that Bitcoins are CIA and reptiloid conspiracy!

The sun rising over a popular Japanese mountain?  On a Japanese website?

How strange!  That's almost as weird as American mixed with red, white and blue and bald eagles.

Also, is this kid dense?  He's recommending doing more research on Bitcoin, and has done about 5 minutes worth of glancing over Bitcoin info himself.  And from a Facebook account Roll Eyes  What a fucking tool.

I'd say the symbolism reasoning is weak.

There are probably cases that could be made, motives, monitoring subversion, a psy-op experiment... A lot of theories that would make sense.
I don't believe it, but again, I wouldn't be too shocked if it was true.
