Ethereum Foundation researcher, Justin Drake, has urged the cryptocurrency industry to prepare for a potential breakthrough in artificial intelligence that could undermine the cryptography securing major digital assets warning that a worst-case scenario could emerge within months rather than years. Today I call upon the blockchain industry to calmly begin planning for “bunker mode”. My personal recommendation is to set in motion a controlled mass migration of assets to fresh addresses, i.e. addresses whose pubkeys remain hidden behind a hash.
