Bard told me that the number of Bitcoin addresses generated by a mnemonic phrase according to the BIP-39 standard is 2^126, while GPT said it is 2^32.


Some people say that the number of Bitcoin addresses generated by a mnemonic phrase is infinite, but I disagree.

It is illogical to say that a mnemonic phrase can generate an infinite number of Bitcoin addresses. If a mnemonic phrase could generate an infinite number of Bitcoin addresses, then one mnemonic phrase would contain 2^256 addresses, which is clearly false.


This question has puzzled me for a long time, and there is no standard answer.

Does anyone know?

Thanks
