filling out a perfect NCAA basketball tournament bracket vs finding the Bitcoin private key of a specific address


Watching Kentucky vs Michigan and I'm thinking about this.


The Billion Dollar Bracket Challenge will never be won because it's impossible to guess the result of all 63 games in the March Madness tournament. Now imagine a lucky guy able to fill a perfect bracket and win the billion dollar from the pocket of Mr Buffet.


Now think about this. Finding the matching private key to an address is 16 times more difficult than a guy guessing all winning teams in the tournament 4 years in row! 63 games per year, 252 games in total.
