Bitcoin unlikely to crash 50% on AI risks: Buterin says
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin rejected a Sept. 7 prediction that artificial intelligence could undermine confidence in Bitcoin’s security and cause its price to fall by more than 50% within two years.

Investor and AI-risk commentator Liron Shapira assigned a “50% confidence” level to his prediction that Bitcoin would suffer such a decline because AI could weaken what users consider the network’s security or robustness, according to his original post.

Buterin said he took “the opposite side” of that forecast. His response focused on Bitcoin’s technical adaptability rather than its market price, arguing that most AI-related threats could be addressed without changing the network’s core social agreement.

I take the opposite side of that.

My basic reasons are that I am quite optimistic about cybersecurity in the long term and I see the primary problem as being getting the transition, and I expect $BTC to handle at least any issues that do not require social consensus well…

Buterin sees transition risk rather than cryptographic collapse

Buterin said he remains optimistic about cybersecurity over the long term. In his view, the main risk lies in managing the transition to a world where attackers and defenders both use increasingly capable AI systems.

He separated operational attacks from failures of Bitcoin’s underlying cryptography. Network-layer exploits, client vulnerabilities and attacks against mining infrastructure could require software updates, but they would not necessarily invalidate Bitcoin’s proof-of-work design.

Bitcoin’s network consists of several layers. Full-node software verifies transactions and blocks. Mining pools coordinate hash power, while miners provide the computing equipment that performs proof-of-work calculations. Internet infrastructure connects those participants.
