Vitalik Buterin dismisses AI threat to Bitcoin, says 50% crash unlikely within two years.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin rejected claims by Silicon Valley investor Liron Shapira that AI could break Bitcoin's security and cause a 50% price drop within two years. Buterin said the chances of AI breaking Bitcoin's proof-of-work or hashes are very small and expressed confidence in blockchain cybersecurity. He also noted that network issues can be fixed through upgrades without needing social consensus. Meanwhile, Bitcoin price remains strong near $79,500 despite geopolitical tensions and upcoming US inflation data, with traders optimistic about future gains.
