Bitcoin is back — the cryptocurrency reached above the $10,000 mark again, CNBC reported. Thursday (Feb. 15) was the first day in two weeks that bitcoin traded at that level. A host of other digital coins — including bitcoin cash and litecoin — also reached higher levels on Thursday.
And in a decidedly retro twist, Atari, which brought Pac-Man to the world, is rolling out its own cryptocurrency called “Atari Token,” Coindesk reported. To make this digital coin happen, the company has licensed its brand to Infinity Networks, Ltd, which is based in Gibraltar. Atari acquired a 15 percent stake in the firm, but the company said that it was “made without cash disbursement by Atari.”
