Has this ever happened before?

Follow-up questions:
If there becomes 100 trillion wallets in use, do you think finding a wallet with a balance will become common? Is the current private key secure enough to last 10,000+ years?

Is there a way to scale up the security of the generated private keys somehow if needed someday?
