🔮 Curvature in Bitcoin's key space?
In physics, the curvature of space-time allows a ship (hypothetically) to take a shortcut, like in a warp drive. In Bitcoin's key space (a space of 2²⁵⁶ possible private keys), finding a specific key is like searching for a grain of sand in an entire universe. But... what if we could "curve" that space somehow? A lot of Netflix, right?
