The insinuation is that the current site is somehow tainted by it's use back in 2007, but as far as I can find [1] it was never anything but a "coming soon"page.

It's fairly common to ridicule it's current use in the Bitcoin world by associating the currency exchange with playing cards.

Why would anyone consider mtg something worthy of ridicule?


The same reason they consider bitcoin worthy of ridicule.


Because it's a game played by nerds. :)

But seriously, associating MtGox with a place to sell playing cards might detract from the serious intentions of the site. Idk.


No way. MTG is super awesome; the fact that Mt.Gox is indirectly linked to Magic only makes it cooler.
