AI poses greater threat to Bitcoin than quantum computing, Swan founder says

Swan Bitcoin founder Cory Klippsten argues AI poses a more immediate threat to Bitcoin security than quantum computing, citing hackers using large language models to exploit vulnerabilities. Recent exchange hacks including Mercado Bitcoin ($46M) and Binance ($6.3B) illustrate current AI-driven security threats, while quantum computers capable of threatening Bitcoin remain at least a decade away. Klippsten contends cryptocurrency companies should not rush to implement quantum-resistant protections now, as doing so would introduce unnecessary complexity without imminent threat.
