Bitcoin Heads Back Up Over $1,000
After game company Zynga starts testing allowing Bitcoin use in games
The virtual currency Bitcoin jumped back over $1,000 Monday after online gaming company Zynga began a test operation to accept Bitcoin in some of its games.
Zynga said in a posting on Reddit over the weekend that it is now accepting in-game purchases in seven of its online games, including FarmVille 2, CityVille, and Hidden Shadows, through the Bitcoin processor BitPay.
Zynga called the move a test "in reponse to Bitcoin's rise in popularity around the world."
