Curves which make Bitcoin possible.
Elliptic curves are exciting- they have beautiful mathematical properties which found very wide applications in cryptography. In this video, we study the particular elliptic curve which is responsible for Bitcoin security (secp256k1) and understand why elliptic curves are so complex !
