The 10 minutes also isn't accurate because the ability to obtain private keys from public keys would completely destroy the incentives of the Bitcoin network. Miners are incentivized and compensated for including transactions in a block due to fees. The ability to steal the coins from an incoming transaction would create incentives not to include transactions in a block and to instead spam the network with as many malicious nodes as possible to halt the proliferation of transactions. |
