New Video Dropped on Bitcion - I am sure it will anger some folks. 😂

Sorry, but you are simply wrong on this... Math is not two way. There is a whole branch of mathematics called modulo arithmetic which is one way only. And guess what, that is what hashing algorithms use. Just because something is a one way function does not mean it isn't math.
Another way to think of it is if I give you a very large number and tell you to give me the two numbers I multiplied together to get that number the only method you would have is to guess until you got the right combination. That is what hashing and all digital encryption is like.
You can try that angle but you haven't show how hashing is math. Go ahead and try.
So you want me to explain how the SHA-256 algorithm works at a fundamental level?
This article probably explains the math behind SHA-256 better than I can. https://infosecwriteups.com/breaking-down-sha-256-algorithm-2ce61d86f7a3
But at it's most basic it is simply a series of XOR operations (addition), rotate right operations, right shifts (subtraction), and modulo addition. It is actually very basic mathematics just repeated a bunch of times.
