Reality of generating all possible Bitcoin addresses

I was thinking, someone could kill BTC by generating all the possible wallets, but even with a super-computer, I don't think this would happen anytime soon lol



This is from ChatGPT:


1,461,501,637,330,902,918,203,684,832,716,283,019,655,932,542,976

This is the total number of unique, valid Bitcoin addresses that can theoretically exist.

===

If you generated 1.2 million Bitcoin wallets per second, it would take you approximately:

38.59 decillion years
(≈ 3.86 × 10³⁴ years)

…to generate all possible valid Bitcoin addresses.

For comparison:

The age of the universe is ~13.8 billion years.
Here you go, here is every bitcoin private key in existence. Good luck finding an address with funds on it:

I wonder if they got any hits and took the btc 😆
That's crazy they were even able to generate and host all those.
More likely to control a majority of nodes.

I wonder if it would be considered theft for generating a key that had Bitcoin inside of it. Just like how someone who wins the lottery just for picking the right numbers.
