Question 11 of 7

Where would you buy your crypto? Or where did you buy it?

Picking an exchange is like picking a bank. You want the big one downtown with cameras and insurance. Not a guy at a folding table offering to hold your paycheck.

A

A big, well-known exchange I picked myself.I did my own research. I know who is holding my money.

B

A platform someone told me about.It came from a DM, a group chat, or a comment section.

C

I have not bought any yet.Honestly, I would not know where to start.

Question 22 of 7

Where does your crypto live?

A hot wallet is the purse you carry every day. A cold wallet is the safe bolted inside your closet. You do not carry your life savings in your purse.

A

In a wallet that I control.I know the difference between a hot wallet and a cold wallet. I hold my own keys.

B

It just sits on the exchange.I never really thought about moving it anywhere.

C

Wallet?Honestly, I am not sure what a crypto wallet even is.

Question 33 of 7

Someone promises you guaranteed returns. "Send crypto, get double back." What do you do?

in real life

If a stranger at the mall said "hand me $100 and I will bring you $200 tomorrow," you would laugh and keep walking. A crypto scam is that same stranger. Just with a prettier profile picture.

A

Block them. Instantly."Guaranteed" does not exist in this market. Ever.

B

I would check their page and reviews first.If other people vouch for them, maybe it is real.

C

Honestly, I might be tempted.The numbers look good and everyone else seems to be winning.

Question 44 of 7

You need to send crypto from one wallet to another. What is your process?

Sending crypto is like mailing a package. Right address AND right shipping company. Put a FedEx label on it and drop it in a UPS box, and nobody is bringing it back.

A

Slow and careful.I match the network, double check the address, and send a small test amount first.

B

Copy, paste, send it all.It has worked so far.

C

I have never done it.And I did not know the network mattered at all.

Question 55 of 7

How much money would you put into crypto?

Simple rule: never bet the rent. If losing that money would change your life next month, it does not belong in the market.

A

Only what I can afford to lose.And I have a long term plan for it.

B

Whatever it takes to catch the next big run.I refuse to miss out again.

C

Nothing yet.I am too scared of losing money to even start.

Question 66 of 7

A website asks you to connect your wallet and approve. What do you do?

Approving is not buying. It is like handing a valet your car key instead of paying for parking. Nothing leaves right away, and they can come back for the car whenever they want.

A

I read what I am approving first.If I cannot tell what it does, I reject it and walk away.

B

I approve it.Connecting a wallet does not move any money, so it feels safe.

C

I have connected before without really reading it.Nothing bad happened, so I assumed it was fine.

Question 77 of 7

Your phone rings. It is "your exchange's security team." Your account is at risk, but they can help you move your crypto somewhere safe. What do you do?

It is the fake bank call, dressed up for crypto. A real bank never calls asking you to move your money. When in doubt, hang up and call the number on the back of your own card. In crypto, that means closing the call and opening the app yourself.

A

Hang up. Then open the app myself.If something is really wrong, it will say so inside the app. Nobody legit asks me to move money on a phone call.

B

I would ask them questions to prove they are real.If they know my name and my account details, that would convince me.

C

I would follow their steps.If my money is in danger, I am not going to just sit there.
