“Claude AI cannot directly crack Bitcoin encryption or hack into a blockchain.”

Available evidence shows Claude cannot break Bitcoin’s secp256k1 cryptography or penetrate the Bitcoin blockchain by itself. Stories about AI “cracking” wallets refer to password recovery, file analysis, or other user-side help, not a break of Bitcoin’s protocol. The main caveat is that AI can still assist attacks on users, wallets, exchanges, or vulnerable blockchain software.

“As of April 12, 2026, the price of Bitcoin has never exceeded $100,000 USD.”

Bitcoin definitively exceeded $100,000 USD well before April 12, 2026. Multiple independent price trackers — including Kraken, TradingView, and Bitbo — record an all-time high of approximately $126,000–$126,277 in October 2025. Major news outlets confirm Bitcoin first crossed the $100,000 threshold on December 4–5, 2024. No credible source supports the claim, and every piece of available evidence directly contradicts it.

“Bitcoin is expected to surpass the US dollar as the world's primary reserve currency.”

This claim is false. The US dollar holds roughly 58% of global foreign exchange reserves, while no central bank currently holds Bitcoin as reserves. No credible, independent expert consensus supports the expectation that Bitcoin will surpass the dollar as the world's primary reserve currency. The most optimistic pro-Bitcoin analysis (from a crypto exchange) only suggests a conditional "earliest plausible window" of 2046 — contingent on multiple unmet conditions — which is a speculative scenario, not a mainstream expectation.

“Jeffrey Epstein created Bitcoin.”

This claim is false. Bitcoin was created by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, who published its whitepaper in October 2008 and launched the network in January 2009. Jeffrey Epstein's documented involvement in cryptocurrency — investments in Coinbase, Blockstream, and MIT's Digital Currency Initiative — all occurred in 2014–2015, years after Bitcoin already existed. Viral emails claiming Epstein was Satoshi Nakamoto were confirmed to be doctored fakes. No credible evidence links Epstein to Bitcoin's creation.
