How better to pay for virtual real estate than with virtual money?
The price of Bitcoins has risen beyond the thousand-dollar mark again after games-maker Zynga announced it would trial the e-currency for in-game purchases.
At the time of writing, a Bitcoin was worth $1,062.30 on the Mt.Gox online exchange, one of the major markets where the software-based, government-free money is traded for authority-backed currencies like dollars and euros.
The surge comes after Zynga told folks on the /r/bitcoin community on Reddit over the weekend that it was starting a trial with BitPay, a Bitcoin service provider, to accept the currency for purchases in games like Farmville 2, Hidden Chronicles and CityVille.
