we make a hypothesis based on some time in the future. The Bitcoin account is one trillion. Assumption: 256 numbers or combinations of letters are 2 trillion (it can be calculated by mathematical formulas, here we make a hypothesis) Then: any modification of the letters in the private key, it will be the private key of an account .
It also applies to altcoins. But the number of Bitcoin accounts is the largest. It needs to make changes first.

People can guess private keys? Seriously? No one is capable of doing that genius. Many have tried to crack these keys in different ways(Brute force etc), but failed which is why a large portion of BTC is lost basically.
Supercomputers could possibly crack them in the future, but it would still be really difficult.

If you are guessing, there's nothing genius in it.
Agree on this, I think even a genius person could not even crack even one of million private keys exixting. Using a super computer to crack private key combination might not be possible, or could be possibe but might take ages.
Cracking a particular account private key can be very difficult. However, as Bitcoin accounts continue to grow at a large scale. At some point in the future, any combination of 256 numbers and letters may be a private key. People can guess the private key of an account.

Of course, it is not now. It is a potential problem. When the number of Bitcoin accounts is large enough. It will be easier and easier.Supercomputers could possibly crack them in the future, but it would still be really difficult.
What the correlation between the number of bitcoin account and its possibility to guess the private key? No matter how much the number of bitcoin account is, the possibility to guess the private key remain the same (wont be easier) imho.

Cracking a private key will take sooooooo much time before you actually land upon a wallet with actual bitcoin in it. You'd be dead of old age, and you'd still not be close to actually finding one.

We all know that Bitcoin's private key consists of 256 numbers or letters. However, with the adoption of bitcoin on a large scale. BTC accounts will be more and more. When the number of Bitcoin accounts is large enough, any 256 numbers and combinations of letters may be a private key. People can rely on guesswork to get bitcoin in their account.
i think the private key of Bitcoin should not be a fixed 256 bit. it should be able to change in an interval. the user can select the number of digits of its private key. For example: between 500 characters and 256 characters.
Why is it a public number: 256 bits?
The character of the private key is a privacy. The number of digits in the private key should also be a privacy.
