Twenty Questions to Test Your Bitcoin Knowledge. Beginner Level.

How does your bitcoin knowledge rank? Here are Twenty Test Questions to evaluate yourself.

This is the first part of a three-part series that will test your knowledge of bitcoin greatness. This quiz will provide you a general measuring stick to gauge where you fit in the range of bitcoin knowledge. We trust you will take this quiz with the “honor code”. This means that if you don’t know the answer, you can honorably feel free to look up the answers anywhere on the web.

While you are there, scroll up and down a page to see what other information you can gain by accident. Once you are done with all your research take the quiz again with your books closed and your web searches off. Keep doing this until you get 18 questions correctly or better. Passing the beginner level test with a score of at least 90% (18 correct) means you might know just enough to be dangerous.

But then you can brag to your friends you passed the first level and can proudly hold the title of a “Bitcoin Magazine Beginner”. Just passing this test, doesn’t indicate you are ready to make bitcoin investments yet. The answers will appear tomorrow for those who don’t need to do the searches for answers.
