• Help the reader understand how Bitcoin really works at a fundamental level.
• Focus on readability in the Python implementation; on correctness, and performance in the Rust implementation.
• Zero (ish) dependency on third-party packages.

DISCLAIMER: This software comes sans warranty. Do NOT use this code for anything other than educational purposes. I beg you.
