Since we’re back at $42K again today, it reminded me of the wild story of MtGox, the infamous exchange that was riddled with scandal and ultimately collapsed in early 2014.

In 2011, its founder Mark Karpeles tried to prove its solvency by moving exactly 424242.42424242 BTC, worth $5.5 million at the time, which would be $17.7 billion today.

It was a zero-fee transaction. 🤯
