In Jeopardy!, chosen categories reveal an answer to a query and the contestants must phrase their response in the form of a question. Thursday\u2019s competition saw the category \u201cCybersecurity,\u201d and the question: \u201cA ransomeware attack that encrypted 3,800 City of Atlanta computers demanded 6 of these digital items to unfreeze them.\u201d The answer, &#8220;What is Bitcoin!&#8221; Although this mention doesn\u2019t paint Bitcoin in a particularly favorable light, it does show that the coins are further infiltrating our popular culture and imaginations. The question was in reference to a ransomware attack and demand for Bitcoin that destabilized municipal operations in The City of Atlanta in 2018.

In 2018, \u201ccryptocurrency\u201d was a category \u2014 and along with it six questions related to the coins \u2014 and a 2019 episode featured a question about associated blockchain technology. Around the same time Bitcoin was\u00a0officially added\u00a0as a recognized word in the popular Hasbro board game Scrabble. Merriam-Webster, who maintains the official Scrabble dictionary, made the addition alongside 300 other words including \u201cemoji\u201d and \u201ctwerk.\u201d Placing tiles on the Scrabble board spelling out Bitcoin earns the player 11 points.
