CZ and Vitalik downplay AI crypto threat as Bitcoin Core rewrites bug disclosure rules

  • —CZ says Bitcoin's cryptography is stronger than internet and banking infrastructure
  • —Bitcoin Core will patch 'easily discoverable' bugs across all maintained versions immediately
  • —Other flaws keep severity-based timelines, with medium and high issues waiting up to a year
  • —A 16-person Bitcoin Red Team found hundreds of high or critical flaws in an AI-assisted sweep in August
Why it matters: AI is accelerating bug discovery, and Bitcoin Core's new policy changes how fast fixes reach the network.
