How changes to Bitcoin's rules get proposed, fought over and adopted, from improvement proposals and soft forks to upgrade debates like quantum resistance.

Whether quantum computers could break the cryptography securing Bitcoin and other blockchains, and how networks plan to migrate before that day.

Mathematical foundations of blockchains: hash functions, digital signatures, and encryption schemes that secure transactions, wallets, and consensus.
