AI Unlikely to Break Bitcoin Signatures Anytime Soon, Ledger CTO Says

  • —Guillemet responded to Ethereum researcher Justin Drake's call for a controlled migration of funds
  • —Drake said on October 7 that ECDSA could break before quantum day, in months rather than years
  • —OpenAI's October 6 integer-multiplication result improves bounds only by a tiny power of the logarithm
  • —A Bitcoin public key is exposed on-chain only after the first outgoing transaction
Why it matters: The debate frames the risk for holders: no imminent threat, but address migration and post-quantum signatures stay on the agenda.
