Bitcoin users frequently generate new addresses for each transaction they make, which greatly increases the number of bitcoin addresses being used to receive money.

Would it be possible (and profitable) for someone to find collisions in the bitcoin address space in order to steal money?


hello there before asking such question first you have to understand that blockchain cryptography is almost impossible to crack because it is made to be impossible to crack and the math is almost impossible to solve the brute force attack only works if you have this large dictionary of generated "password or keys" and it is inconvenient to do brute force attack using a normal computer since this will use the maximum power of computer and if the PK is not in your  dictionary and it is useless blockchain is made with high encryption.
