To halve and to hodl: How much do you know about crypto?

2022 was a pretty wild year for the world of crypto.

It started off on a good note: It was all the rage as play-to-earn games became increasingly popular, cryptocurrency trading made a comeback, and blockchain showed up on the radars of founders and investors everywhere.

Come March, however, things took a turn, and the rest of the year was marked by a series of unfortunate events – the Terra crash, Three Arrows Capital’s liquidation, FTX’s collapse, and more – that caused faith in the sector to hit rock bottom.
