Bitcoin Security: Why Private Key Derivation from Public Addresses Is Mathematically Impossible

According to @Andre_Dragosch, Bitcoin private keys are 256-bit numbers, resulting in 2^256 possible combinations. This immense number makes it mathematically impossible to derive a private key from a public wallet address, ensuring robust security for traders and long-term holders. For crypto market participants, this verification underscores the reliability of cold storage and hardware wallets, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or theft via brute-force attacks (source: @Andre_Dragosch, Twitter, May 27, 2025).
