# Mt Gox

## Visual Elements


Creamy white t-shirt with a graphic text that reads “MT.GOX in orange and light grey.

## Cultural Context

Mt. Gox was the world's largest Bitcoin exchange (2010–2014) that collapsed after 850,000 BTC were stolen due to hacks and poor security. It filed for bankruptcy in 2014, shaking the crypto market. Creditors are still being repaid; as of Oct 2025, the deadline was extended to Oct 2026, with ~35,000 BTC left to distribute.

<!-- justification
## Justification

Mt. Gox is the original crypto catastrophe, the event that taught an entire generation that not your keys means not your coins. It belongs in the collection as the founding trauma of the Bitcoin era.
