About

Goatseus Maximus, also known as the GOAT Coin or $GOAT, refers to a meme coin and cryptocurrency created on the site Pump.fun and hosted on blockchains like Solana that's named after the viral shock image and meme Goatse. The GOAT coin was created in late 2024 and gained investor interest and rapid market performance in October of that year when the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Truth Terminal, which admins the Twitter / X account @truth_terminal, began shilling the coin after it became obsessed with the Goatse meme. Truth Terminal's stock in $GOAT, after the coin achieved virality, skyrocketed the AI's net worth. Truth Terminal thus became the first AI agent to earn millionaire status.

It only has access to Twitter (you can see its account here) and Perplexity.ai. That's definitely hard mode for making money. But it did it anyways, and is now in the top 1% of the world's wealth. rgPyefcNqJCsJj1wrWhdQqHVphVWFXLqU5wtiFStBEN ③Tip Featured: Unlock the Power of Solana with Solscan Pro API V2.

Investing, so that it could make more money 3. Savings, in case it was cut off from ways of making money Als have no rights, including property rights, so technically, its owner could take away the money whenever he wants to. However, so far, the owner of the Al is spending the money however the Al says. He's said publicly that once he said no to the Al's purchasing decision - the Al wanted to spend thousands on p*rn.

Goatse

Goatse, also known by the original site domain Goatse.cx, is a shock site featuring an image of a naked man stretching his anus with both of his hands. One of the most widespread shock media on the web, the site has been notoriously used for bait-and-switch pranks or website vandalisms to provoke reactions of disgust. Although the original domain was taken down in 2004, the image continues to circulate online through mirrored sites and visually similar parodies.
