The founder of Swan Bitcoin says artificial intelligence is a bigger danger to Bitcoin than quantum computing. Cointelegraph published the comments on Nov 2, 2026. Nate Kostar wrote the story and Bryan O Shea edited it.
The founder's warning is that hackers are now using large language models to find and exploit security flaws. According to the founder, a few prompts can be enough to do it. That is why the founder ranks AI above quantum computing as a risk to Bitcoin.
The summary does not name any flaw that has been exploited, any project or wallet that was hit, or any amount lost. It does not give a date when quantum computing might become a real threat either. What is known is one industry founder's view, not a reported attack.
When the story ran, the Cointelegraph price ticker showed BTC at $76,944.92 and ETH at $2,257.90. The report does not connect any price move to the warning.
For anyone already holding a perpetual position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this changes nothing directly. It is a warning about security risk, not an event that affects funding rates, trading fees or order book liquidity. If AI-assisted exploits later hit an exchange or a protocol, that would be a separate story with its own costs to measure.
