MtG cards weren't ever actually tradable on mtgox.com before the domain was repurposed for the bitcoin exchange. I got in to Bitcoin through a random news article about it. Turns out many crypto fans are also Magic fans. Would be cool to do a story about that.

That was the golden era, before constructed was ruined by netdecks. I also went on to farm virtual goods. Could make good money doing it by hand back in those days. Bitcoin does make natural sense when following this path. I wonder how many others did the same thing.
I have friends who followed a similar path but didn't become an ancap or libertarian. That's what ultimately led me to Bitcoin, but M:TG/EQ farming made the transition easier.
