lot of fear for people who think what if there are two similar randomly generated private keys at  different parts of the world.

But there is no need to worry since the ocean of private keys is so large that any two randomly generated private key to be similar is like almost next to impossible, but common people cannot get the feeling out of mind, that this may eventually happen one day

but think about our genes, no two person is alike so it is easy to think in terms of genes...

So my question is which one is better, genetic code  variability with just 4 bases in DNA ( cytosine, adenine, guanine,thymine)

or is bitcoin private key generation even above genetic variability.

2160 different private keys [1] vs. 46*109 * 0.0001 [2] [3] different humans

1,46 * 1048 vs. number to big for wolfram alpha... sorry the idea was nice but 46*106 * 0.0001 = 8.8*103612355 according to wolfram alpha. Yeah... not a comparison you want to make.

[1] since RIPEDM - 160 is used
[2] according to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUDqI9PJpc8 there are 6 billion words in the gnome each has 4 different possible values.
[3] same source [2] 99.99% of genetic code is identical for all humans

Excuse my inability to understand, but can you do a THCR on what you just said?

the third option: multisig wallets
when they generate your private key for a 1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx btx address, they cant see the multisig wallet (3xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) behind it and so on.
