Crypto trivia 📚 Private keys and addresses
Most Bitcoin addresses are created by hashing a public key or script and then encoding it. Common formats begin with 1, 3, or bc1.
Bitcoin and Ethereum private keys are both actually large 256-bit random numbers, and both use the secp256k1 elliptic curve.
Learning this won’t make me stronger overnight, but it can help me avoid a rookie mistake.
