Bitcoin’s complexity paradox: How layer-2 scalers became AI's main target

60-second summary

Bitcoin’s complexity paradox emerges as AI now targets layer‑2 scalers, with recent Coldcard, Lightning and Liquid incidents illustrating how machine‑learning tools lower bug‑hunting costs and accelerate exploit discovery. Developers scramble to patch vulnerabilities while investors watch heightened risk, prompting tighter security budgets and potentially slowing adoption as the industry confronts AI‑driven threat dynamics.
