Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the wild world of blockchain — beyond the hype.
In 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 Bitcoin for two pizzas — at Bitcoin's all-time high, those coins would be worth over $730 million. From Satoshi Nakamoto's mysterious whitepaper to the collapse of multi-billion-dollar exchanges, the world of cryptocurrency has produced some of the most dramatic stories in modern finance. This deep dive quiz goes beyond the basics to test what you really know about Bitcoin, Ethereum, blockchain technology, DeFi, NFTs, and the scandals that shook the industry.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll explore the origins of Bitcoin and its mysterious creator, the mechanics of blockchain consensus, Ethereum's smart contract revolution, the rise and fall of NFTs, how DeFi protocols work, the biggest exchange collapses and hacks, which countries have embraced crypto as legal tender, and some of the wildest true stories the crypto world has produced.
Satoshi Nakamoto is the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, who published the Bitcoin whitepaper on October 31, 2008, and launched the network on January 3, 2009. Satoshi's true identity has never been confirmed. Their wallet is believed to hold approximately 1 million BTC, none of which has ever been moved.
Bitcoin mining uses proof of work, which consumes approximately 150 TWh of electricity per year — comparable to a country like Poland. Critics point to its carbon footprint, while supporters note that an increasing share of mining uses renewable energy. Ethereum addressed similar concerns by switching to proof of stake in 2022, reducing its energy use by 99.95%.
FTX was one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges until its sudden collapse in November 2022. Founder Sam Bankman-Fried was found to have misappropriated approximately $8 billion in customer funds. He was convicted of fraud and sentenced to 25 years in prison, making it one of the largest financial frauds in history.
