I’ve been thinking lately about something that wasn’t really on anyone’s radar when Bitcoin was first created:
Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly powerful, and we're reaching a point where it might soon analyze the entire Bitcoin blockchain—every transaction, every address—almost instantly and effortlessly.
In the past, if someone wanted to trace transactions, investigate suspicious behavior, or deanonymize addresses, it required huge human effort and resources. But AI could potentially change all of this, making real-time surveillance incredibly easy.
Reading through this, all I can see is the ability of AI to make Bitcoin more transparent than it already is and I don't think it is a threat at all. Bitcoin is already very transparent but the true identities of those behind those transactions we see on the blockchain are still kept private, except those involved try to leave traces that would make people notice them.
Transparency will also not be a threat to decentralization. You hold your private keys and control it yourself. Except you are trying to tell us that AI can have full control over everything that has to do with Bitcoin.
