This is a serious question despite the image.
If a private key is just a simple string of numbers and characters what's to stop people from brute forcing into people's wallets?

It'll take them a good amount of years to brute force it. Decades? Centuries?

That's where quantum computers come in. Ethereum plans to be quantum proof in the future but we'll see.

if you're just doing straight up brute force, instead of exploiting a flaw in the key itself, then you will have to brute force until the heat death of the universe.
