My score is not high grade but satisfactory. Thanks for the test.

They are still good so don't make comparisons with others as this is just for learning and try to cover your weak points.

It was enjoyable, hope to see more tests of this type.

Will surely work on them and try to find such competitive test for all of us that can enhance our knowledge on overall basis.

I must say I am really bad at economics since I was unable to answer the questions related to world economy.
This is my score



But I am really happy to find out that less than 1% of bitcoins are used in criminal activities.
We have come a long way and it's good to be here.

By the way, I doubt that bitcoin had ever had more than a percent or two involved in criminal activities, and sure it would not really be an easy dynamic to measure.. but of course, the mainstream media would have hardly been credible in its historical representations about what is bitcoin or about how bitcoin was supposedly being used... so surely in the reliance upon deceptive mainstream media representations (maybe interviewing a nocoiner or a bitcoin naysayer as if such a person was representative of actual objective knowledge), we may well have concluded that at least 70% of bitcoin's usage was either criminal or had criminal intentions, even if then being used by grandmas.

Thanks for arranging such an exam. I am week in mining, proof of work,  hash rate related question. But I learn something from this test. My score is

As @JJG is already mentioned that mainstream media is always busy in criticising bitcoin as they all are central government puppets and will not talk against them and most of the time they talk nonsense stuff.The bitcoin criminal related activities were mostly used in Silk road and dark web as many bitcoins were seized by the FED after the shut down in 2013-14 and were crimes not occuring before that? The hackers and criminals are way smart than normal person and know that bitcoin is pseudo anonymous and can be tracked down by government and preferably not use much of it.The transactions usually takes place face to face with fiat and can banks know which serial number notes are used for such things? Simply no and there are many more reasons to argue on that but we don't really care.The bitcoin is and will be best.

Thanks for arranging such an exam. I am week in mining, proof of work,  hash rate related question. But I learn something from this test.

Not everyone's is perfect in each field and your economic and bitcoin section is strong.Moreover learning is continuing phase so best wishes to you for that.

I am not really sure how much of it is true but when I read about it on the internet around 2 years ago they said that the bitcoins used for criminal activities accounted for a 40% in the beginning.
Since then the bitcoin usage for criminal activities has decreased to less than 10%.

But anyway, it's good to see that the number has decreased to less than 1%. I think most of the credit for it goes to the traders and investors.

It seems to me that you are starting with a bad framework in the first place to even presume that the criminal element rate in bitcoin has come down at all.  In other words, the criminal rate in bitcoin was likely never high, but only a myth spread by bitcoin naysayers and nocoiners... and they can fuck off with their nonsense.

I will grant that regarding greater and greater adoption, we have likely gotten more and more mainstream usage of bitcoin; however, bitcoin still remains a pretty damned niche item - and not very widely adopted, and also not very widely able to be used.  Of course, there are some niches in which bitcoin is able to be used more and likely to be adopted more because of such usage - which would include some of the happenings in El Salvador with the greater abilities to send and receive with hardly any fees - and also some various incentive creations (even through the El Salvador government) to attempt to get bitcoin used more and more easily.

I would like to make one more point in terms of trying to compare bitcoin with the usage of cash, and we know that the anonymity of cash allows it to be used in various crimes, yet on a personal level, it seems to me to be much more preferable to have the ability to use cash - because privacy is important, and there are a variety ways that there are attempts to vilify cash and even our own behaviors have been to use cash less and less and less, so in those regards, we have been using more and more of our privacy - and surely any kinds of moves of central bank digital currencies are not going to have abilities to preserve privacy like cash does... but bitcoin does have those abilities, which also makes it more of an amazing phenomena in terms of the preservation of privacy. 

Maybe it is worth pointing out that focusing on increases or decreases in bitcoin being used in criminal endeavors is likely a pretty damned BIG ASS distraction - because I personally believe that it remains way more important to focus on ways to enhance, enable and preserve privacy rather than getting trapped in some kind of false dilemmas, including desires for less criminal activities, in which your focus on such vague concepts  likely causes you to under appreciate more important values in regards to privacy and being able to have some freedoms that are associated with privacy without having to necessarily presume that so many people are bad and causing losses of freedoms to a lot of normies who deserve to live with various ways to enjoy privacy in their value transactions.. without being presumed a criminal merely because they want privacy and they value privacy and they want the same for other people to be able to enjoy and have available means to transact with privacy.

The reasons is the results people are seeing is just an false ratio spread by the fake articles and comparing it with criminal related activities to divert users from knowing the true picture behind the bitcoin.You simply google fiat related crimes and you will see million dollars fund transfer.Bitcoin was never used by criminals for illicit activities on large scale after the shut down of Silk Road but still many are living in delusional world where btc is portrayed as negative currency.But if we check in deep we would find all these are rumours to cover the inflationary fiat by mainstream media and government.

Damn, this quiz took 10 minutes of my time and there were lots of financial jargons.

One mistake made on the first question itself because I thought the 'Next' button would evaluate my answer

[Pmalek]

Here is my final result:



I honestly, thought I would do better but the test wasn't easy. I didn't expect such a strong focus on monetary terms and policies. I had to guess some of it, especially the questions that involved statistics.

I will recommend this test to members in my local community. It was fun!

Sure you should recommend such mind boggling test to your local community and make them familiar with such questions that could unlock their mind powers and open more knowledge doors for them.They will surely like the test and happy that members are scoring good even in economics related questions.

[Rikafip]

I did the test as well, but forgot to take screenshot. Maybe even better as I scored 36/50, which is quite embarrassing, seeing how others performed. Those economy questions completely ruined my score, as I was almost randomly choosing answers and didn't have much luck, and on top of that I made several stupid mistakes due hastiness and not properly reading all the answers.

At least I learned couple of new things, so can't say I wasted those ~10 minutes it took me to finish the test.

So well spent 10 minutes for learning something new.Not only you many other's lag in the economy related questions but at the last you know them if you try to read and understand them thoroughly.You still pass the test and that's not embarrassing at all man.It was for self evaluation not to compare your results with others.If this would be my goal then i would have made toppers chart for this test but this is for knowledge.

[aysg76]

So far many members have scored well in this test and others who don't Just don't think it was competition but a test for your knowledge only and you could possibly have a chance to learn of which you were not aware of.So keep trying.

Waiting for more responses

Here is my test score, and while they appear to be easy at first glance, there are certain statistical questions that require further research.


But, this thread has been derailed by arguments from top members.

But, this thread has been derailed by arguments from top members.

They are easy to moderate ranging from different sections and if you read them thoroughly you will understand them also for further knowledge.

The ongoing discussion was about criminal activities concerning bitcoin which is indeed in the test for all of us and it's fair to discuss about it and we can't call it derailing from the topic.

The test is really interesting and it was fun, though I learned a lot from this test and it encouraged me to learn more about bitcoin. This is the link of my result.
