     Mt Gox, for instance, started as a trading venue for enthusiastic nerds who loved fantasy games; its name, Mt Gox, stands for Magic the Gathering Online Exchange, where users traded cards for the game, giving bitcoins a place in the fringe-culture Venn diagram between Dungeons & Dragons and Renaissance faires.
