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.

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.

2 160 different private keys [1] vs. 4 6*109 * 0.0001 [2] [3] different humans 1,46 * 10 48 vs. number to big for wolfram alpha... sorry the idea was nice but 4 6*106 * 0.0001 = 8.8*10 3612355 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

yeah I get it now.. you used 0.001 since 99.99% of all human genome is same.
so finally there are more genetic combinations than btc address combinations...

Yes and not just a little more but the human genome is a totally different ballpark. Think of: seconds in a minute relate to possible btc addresses like possible btc adresses relate to possible different humans. Thats just something I came up with, its not based on the numbers since I cant find a calculator that can work out the big numbers youd need fot the human genome. Also human distribution is dependend. You are not like any possible human at random, but you are part of each of your parents.

Identical twins have identical genomes, although they might still be distinguishable on an epigenomic level.
Furthermore, the distribution of genetic changes in humans differs depending on what part of the genome you are talking about. Some areas have high variability (e.g. single nucleotide polymorphisms and variable tandem repeats) even among closely-related individuals, while other parts of the genome rarely change.

So if you dont look at the possible combinations, but the randomness, BTC addresses win out correct?

to calculate this for the genome, you have to take into account that there are only "very few" variations per sequence possible and most of them are not known. e.g. think of all the mutilated babies wherever depleted uranium ammunition has been used http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article34351.htm

If the genome would be randomly distributed. That is: each kid would be random and had an idenpendent genetical code from the parents. BTC address would not "win". Not even close. 4 6000000000 >> 2 160may it helps so see if we convert 2 160 (possible keys/addresses) to base 4. That 4 80. Do you see how big a difference this is now? There are 4 5,999,999,920 more possible humans than there are possible private keys. Even if you consider that 99.99% of all humans have the same genome and differ only in 0.01% of it. Even that tiny part of the genetic code has more possibilities than bitcoin. Mit etwa 3,27 Milliarden Basenpaaren hätte das Genom des Menschen demnach einen maximal möglichen Informationsgehalt von 6,54 Milliarden bit oder 780 MiB. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/GenomUse a translator or search for the english version (I cant find it). Bitcoin has 160 bit, the genome has 6.54 billion.

DNA is ~1.5Gb of data whereas a private key is 32 bytes of data, so there's far (far far) more data in DNA than in a private key. Hence DNA can hold many more possibilities than a private key could.
However the amount of actual variance found between humans is tiny. Humans share 99.9% of their DNA with each other. Still 0.01% * 1.5Gb = 1.5 Mb, still far far bigger than the 32 bytes in a private key.
Conclusion: Genetic variance is many orders of magnitude vaster than bitcoin private key space.

Depends on how you count. If you look at it as meaningless data, the possible combinations are magnitudes higher than the number of particles in the observable universe.

Even if you assume that the genes are all there is in the genetic data (which I think has fallen out of favor long ago), and that only 1000 of them have an alternative form, it would give you around 10300 combinations, which is interestingly still magnitudes higher than the number of particles in the universe.
Basically, private key generation doesn't even come close. Yet it is practically impossible to generate the same key in different conditions. Large numbers are confusing.
