Buterin rejects AI-driven 50 percent Bitcoin crash warning, citing crypto-heavy net worth

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin (비탈릭 부테린) has pushed back against a prediction that artificial intelligence could drive Bitcoin down more than 50 percent within two years. AI risk analyst Liron Shapiro (리론 샤피로) put the probability of such a decline at 50 percent, arguing AI could undermine security assumptions by finding hard-to-detect vulnerabilities at scale. Buterin said most AI-driven security issues would be manageable and fixable, noting about 90 percent of his net worth is invested in cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin BIP-110 fork row flares; Ripple ex-CTO says premise is wrong

David Schwartz (데이비드 슈워츠), a former chief technology officer of Ripple, criticised the logic behind a split-chain push by supporters of Bitcoin’s BIP-110. He argued that the phrase “fixing the legacy chain” rests on a flawed premise. The exchange followed a debate over a planned hard fork that would switch the proof-of-work algorithm from SHA-256d to BLAKE2b. Broader ecosystem support for the new chain remains unconfirmed.

El Salvador\'s \'Bitcoin Beach\' sees just one BTC payment in a month, witness says

A witness said everyday bitcoin payments have dropped sharply in El Zonte, El Salvador, known as “Bitcoin Beach,” with card payments replacing bitcoin in daily use. Bitcoin Core contributor John Attak said a restaurant employee told him his lunch payment was the first bitcoin transaction there in a month. Some travellers reported paying with bitcoin without problems, but a gap between symbolism and actual usage appears to have widened.
