But people sent millions $ and BTC to MagicalTux and his Magic: The Gathering Online .

When I first heard of Mt Gox I didn't know how it got its name, it was merely an unusual name to me. It took months before I heard it stood for Magic The Gathering Online Exchange. Conversely, I immediately thought Buttercoin sounded like a stupid name as soon as I heard it.
Mt Gox had a chance to gain business partly because it was only after people got used to trading on it that they realized Mt Gox was an acronym for a stupid name.
Well, let's be clear here. Mt Gox was a GREAT name for the original company business model: trading playing cards... and the software would have probably handled all 5 trades per hour just fine too!
