Cryptocurrencies on Jeopardy

in jeopardy •  6 years ago 

Jeopardy which is one of the USA's oldest trivia shows has featured a category on cryptocurrencies.

The November 29, 2018, episode of “Jeopardy!” offered five unique questions centered around cryptocurrencies and their technology to test out its contestants’ knowledge on the subject: The results reveal that the contestants were aware of them.

The “cryptocurrencies” category occurred in the game’s first round, with answers worth $200, $400, $600, $800 and $1,000 depending on their order and level of difficulty. The category was also among the final two to be tackled by the players, suggesting they may have felt a little less confident heading into it.

The first clue, selected by Phil Tompkins, a portable restroom service technician from Indiana, was a rather basic one: “An altcoin is any unit of cryptocurrency other than this original one.” Chris Williams, a consultant from New York, responded with the correct answer: “bitcoin.”
