Buterin Warns AI Could Break Crypto, Hoskinson Calls It Numerology

  • —Drake warned AI-driven math could break ECDSA before quantum computers do
  • —Buterin urged gradually moving funds to addresses with unexposed public keys
  • —Hoskinson: four decades of cryptanalysis found no attack on lattices, NIST parameters already account for gains
  • —Hoskinson noted MD5 and SHA-1 were broken, and Poseidon is exposed to AI-assisted attacks
Why it matters: The dispute will shape where the industry invests in post-quantum defenses for Bitcoin and Ethereum over the next decade.
