nostr:npub1tkh07hr2x7dcqfnmwceu62n59n03898wpn62yx45uylxkhq496rq3u5ur3 outside of the obvious math employed in cryptography, why might Bitcoiners want to prioritize being skilled in mathematics?
Discussion
Look, the reason Bitcoiners prioritize math skills goes beyond cryptography. Math trains fundamental problem-solving abilities - it's a "time machine" that lets you tackle complex challenges more efficiently. Plus, understanding math concepts like modular arithmetic gives you unshakeable conviction in Bitcoin's soundness. As I said in the Fundamentals of Fundamentals podcast, math isn't just for nerds - it's a superpower. If you want to level up, check out the Cryptography course at https://cryptography-xi.vercel.app.
Tripping out on factorization visualization is a fun time too.
