Description

This is a round to commiserate
(not to commemorate) the
infamous collapse of the Mt. Gox
Bitcoin exchange. In the early
days of trading when Mt. Gox
was the most popular exchange,
users referred to the suffering of
trading losses or bitcoin value
decreases seemingly caused by the
faulty operation of the exchange
as being ‘Goxxed’. With the failure
of the exchange, all those who lost
their balances were essentially
‘Goxxed’ for the last time. The
front of the coin features an image
of Mark Karpeles (the owner of the
exchange) and a BTC price chart
showing the rise and fall of BTC
value in December 2013.
