Vitalik Buterin Dashes AI-Driven Bitcoin Price Crash Predictions

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has dismissed predictions that AI will compromise Bitcoin's security and cause its price to drop by over 50% within two years. According to sources, Buterin argued that while AI may expose operational vulnerabilities in the Bitcoin ecosystem, the core proof-of-work mechanism is highly unlikely to be broken.

Buterin emphasized that software upgrades and mining-pool adaptations can address most AI-related threats without altering Bitcoin's fundamental rules. He stated that 90% of his net worth is tied up in BTC, indicating a high level of confidence in its security.

The debate highlights concerns about AI's role in cybersecurity but does not indicate immediate risks to Bitcoin's cryptographic integrity or market price.
