Oct 12: Could AI Break Bitcoin's Cryptography?

Bitcoin is holding around $83,000 after testing $80K last week, but the bigger story today is the growing debate over whether artificial intelligence could eventually threaten the cryptography securing Bitcoin, Ethereum and much of the modern internet. Following a discussion on the All-In Podcast, Matt examines OpenAI's release of hundreds of AI-generated mathematical research manuscripts and why advances in mathematical discovery are raising questions among cryptographers. We explain how elliptic-curve cryptography protects private keys, why discovering a new mathematical shortcut could be more consequential than simply building faster computers, and the three possible outcomes ranging from continued security to a...
