randomnessMt. Gox is the world's largest Bitcoin exchange, handling over two thirds of transactions.
Ever wonder where the somewhat odd name came from?
It once stood for Magic: The Gathering Online Exchange. The company started out as an exchange for Magic cards. In between they hosted an online fantasy turn-based strategy game. Then they hit it big with Bitcoins.
Full marks for corporate agility, I say.
