Key ideas in Cryptocurrency for Dummies
- Ownership is just a recorded entry on a shared, distributed ledger
- Coins do not exist as files on a hard drive or phone
- The network must validate every transaction against the ledger history
- Digital scarcity is enforced by the network's consensus, not by file properties
- Where a digital coin actually exists
- The mechanism that prevents double-spending/copy-pasting
- Traditional banks use centralized private databases
- Crypto relies on decentralized public verification
- Value comes from collective trust and market demand
- Value is driven by the coin's limited supply (scarcity)
- Distinguishing crypto from traditional digital banking
- Why digital entries have real-world value
- The ledger is the single source of truth for the network
- The ledger is transparent and accessible to all participants
- The public address is for receiving money
- The private key is for authorizing spending
You've tried the other tabs
Thirty open tabs. Four facts you actually kept.
You watched. You nodded. By Sunday it was gone.

Eight weeks. You meant to finish. You didn't.
Tomo gives Cryptocurrency for Dummies the Duolingo treatment: levels, streaks, and quick quizzes that test what you just learned. That game loop is what the tabs above never had, so it's the one you actually finish.
Here's what playing it feels like
