No one will trust bitcoin with any large transactions if there is even the slightest chance of an address collision.
False. I trust it.
I understand math though ymmv.
Not everybody understands (or has the desire to understand) the math. I know that the chances of a collision is so small that it probably will never happen in a billion years. But try to tell that to some non geek.
Would you trust your money to a bank were the clerk just makes up an account number without checking if the number is already in use?
