This image should at least be posted once in every "but it's possible for someone to create the same address, right?"-thread:
*snipped image*

The image says 2^256 though
Isn't it just 2^160 for BTC?

Just for my own clarification, it's 2^160 because of RIPEMD?  Is that correct?  Clearly the private keys are 256 bits.

Thanks for this really informative thread, you guys!
