Explanations of Small-scale vs Large-scale risk aversion

Idea is understanding differences between small changes vs large changes in wealth in risky gambles.

Diminishing marginal utility (risk aversion) only works in large-scale gambles. This is because the utility function is sufficiently concave over lifetime changes in wealth. This yields a higher utility for taking the certain outcome than taking the gamble despite the gamble having a higher expected return

However, under small-scale gambles,

Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a public-key cryptography technique based on the mathematics of elliptic curves over finite fields.
It is widely used in blockchain systems such as Bitcoin and Ethereum for generating secure public-private key pairs and digital signatures.
The main advantage of ECC is that it provides high security with smaller key sizes, making it faster and more efficient. Mathematical Equation of ECC The general equation of an elliptic curve is:

y2=x3+ax+by^2 = x^3 + ax + by2=
