Researchers Tay VanO and Ben DiFrancesco argue that Satoshi Nakamoto’s coins would not be the primary target if artificial intelligence eventually enables brute-forcing of elliptic curve keys. The analysis challenges common assumptions about which Bitcoin holdings face the greatest cryptographic risk in a post-quantum or AI-accelerated attack scenario. The researchers mapped potential vulnerability priorities during a discussion on the Uneasy Money podcast with Kain Warwick and Austin Griffith. Their assessment suggests that other key types and usage patterns present more immediate attack surfaces than the specific cryptographic signatures associated with Bitcoin's genesis-era outputs.
