Addresses

There's a separate public/private keypair for every bitcoin address. You don't have a single private key that unlocks everything. Bitcoin addresses are a 160-bit hash of the public key, everything else in the system is 256-bit. - Re: Bitcoin Address Collisions

Bitcoins are sent to and from bitcoin addresses, which are essentially random numbers with no identifying information. - Re: Repost: How anonymous are bitcoins?
