🧩 Unlocking the Mystery of Bitcoin's Secret Key: The Discrete Logarithm Problem Explained

How can something as simple as a logarithm become one of the hardest problems in mathematics?
In this video, we explore the Discrete Logarithm Problem (DLP) — the mathematical puzzle that secures your digital world.

You’ll discover:

🧮 What the Discrete Logarithm Problem actually is

⚙️ How it differs from the familiar logarithm on continuous curves (real numbers)

🚫 Why finding a discrete log in modular arithmetic is so hard

🔐 How this hardness forms the backbone of Diffie–Hellman, ElGamal, and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)

🧠 The geometric intuition behind “why we can go forward easily but not backward”

Through simple examples and visual explanations, you’ll see how the beauty of modular arithmetic creates an asymmetry — easy to compute one way, nearly impossible to reverse.
