Experts Push Back on Drake's Call to Move Bitcoin to New Addresses Over AI Threat
- —Drake warned ECDSA could be broken by AI "in months, not years"
- —Qureshi proposed a "cryptographic recovery mode" instead of migration
- —Herbert: a leaked xpub lets attackers derive keys for unused addresses
- —Krich: Solana needs no "bunker mode," a proof of concept already exists
Why it matters: The debate over blockchain readiness for a cryptographic break shapes whether urgent address migrations and signature upgrades are needed.
