Having a Ledger doesn’t mean you’re 100% safe! No wallet is entirely foolproof.
This is the only way to fully secure your assets (step-by-step guide) 🧵🔽
A private key is simply a 256-bit random number, meaning a value between 1 and 2²⁵⁶ - 1.
This number is so large that, assuming true randomness, the chances of two people generating the same private key are effectively zero.
Unfortunately, true randomness doesn’t exist in the digital world.
Computers follow deterministic algorithms, meaning their randomness is pseudo-random, it can be complex but theoretically predictable if someone knows the initial state and the algorithm used.
