What I don't get is that if it's an acronym for "Magic the Gathering Online eXchange," then why do they write it as "Mt. Gox?" Wouldn't that translate to, "Magic the. Gathering Online eXchange?"



Magic the Gathering is often abbreviated to MtG.


I think he's asking why they had the ". " in the middle of the name. It would make sense if Magic The Gathering was often abbreviated as Mt.G but that seems unlikely.


Well, "MtGox" could be read "Mt. Gox", it's probably intentional that they made it also sound like the name of a mountain.
