Bitcoin Crash? 90% of Buterin’s Net Worth Opposes AI

Vitalik Buterin has rejected a forecast that artificial intelligence could cut Bitcoin price by more than half within two years.

The Ethereum co-founder said his existing crypto holdings already place roughly 90% of his net worth on the opposite side of that view.Bitcoin is at just under $80,000 after reaching a three-month high of $82,500 on September 3.

Using a price near $80,000 as a reference point, a 50% decline would place Bitcoin at $40,000.

Shapira, a Silicon Valley investor and host of the Doom Debates podcast, said he had 50% confidence that Bitcoin would lose more than half its value within two years because AI could undermine the security or robustness guarantees that investors expect from the network.
