A digital currency for the legal marijuana industry is soaring after it sponsored Dennis Rodman's trip to North Korea.
Potcoin is a digital cryptocurrency - much like bitcoin - that was specifically developed to remove the need for cash transactions between marijuana consumers and dispensaries.
If Potcoin was going for publicity, it certainly paid off: Potcoin's value soared almost 97% to over 18 US cents on Tuesday.
Marijuana is illegal under federal law, so the majority of banks won't take cash or open lines of credit for marijuana businesses.
