Vitalik said AI could crack $BTC and $ETH wallets before quantum computers do; then told holders not to scramble to move their funds. Why? Ethereum researcher Justin Drake warned ECDSA could break “in months, not years” in the worst case, and urged a slow shift to fresh addresses. Vitalik backed the warning, but said nobody should panic-move today. The exposure is real: about 6.9M BTC (~35% of supply) already has its public key visible on-chain. Fresh, never-spent addresses keep that key hidden behind a hash. His bigger fear: even “quantum-proof” lattice cryptography could take serious damage from AI math within two years. Reality check: no practical attack exists, and Coinbase’s head of cryptography sees no evidence elliptic curves are close to failing. So can AI beat quantum to it? Possibly, but unproven. Stop reusing addresses now. #BTC Price Analysis# #AI Agents 🤖# #Macro Insights#
