AI + Bitcoin survey

I'm researching how bitcoiners relate to AI: what they already use it for, what they'd accept in a Bitcoin context, and where it could genuinely help without compromising sovereignty. Anonymous, 3-5 minutes.

01. What is your experience level with Bitcoin?

I'm just getting started I use Bitcoin regularly I'm an advanced bitcoiner I develop / build on Bitcoin I work in the Bitcoin ecosystem

02. How often do you use AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Cursor, or local models?

03. What do you mainly use AI for today? (max 3 answers)

Understanding or learning a complex topic Summarizing articles, podcasts, videos or threads Writing, rewriting or translating Research or organizing notes Coding, debugging or auditing code Automating tasks Creating images, videos or other content I don't use AI yet

04. What is your general stance on AI?

Very interested: I actively try new tools Broadly positive, but cautious about data and dependencies Pragmatic: useful for some tasks, not everything Rather skeptical Opposed to its integration in my everyday tools I don't have a firm opinion yet

05. Which AI model would feel most acceptable in a Bitcoin wallet?

100% local, even if less powerful Local by default, with cloud explicitly opt-in Hybrid: some tasks local, others in the cloud Cloud, as long as the process is transparent I don't want AI integrated in a wallet

06. What level of action would you accept from an AI in a wallet?

Explain only, no access to wallet data Can analyze displayed information, but takes no action Can prepare an action or transaction, with mandatory manual validation Can execute limited actions I've pre-authorized I don't want any AI in my wallet

07. Which uses would be most useful in a Bitcoin wallet? (max 3 answers)

Explain a concept: UTXO, fees, Lightning, multisig, privacy… Explain a transaction, address, invoice or fee Check for errors before a payment: wrong network, inconsistent amount, likely scam… Suggest the best payment rail: on-chain, Lightning, Ark, Liquid… Help manage a node, wallet or Bitcoin infrastructure Track a payment, receipt or Lightning channel state Summarize news or answer Bitcoin questions Help write, research or produce Bitcoin content None of these

08. Which safeguards would be non-negotiable? (max 3 answers)

AI must never see or store my seed AI must never sign or send a transaction on its own Every action must be clearly explained before confirmation AI must run locally, at least for sensitive data No data sent to a server without my explicit consent Code must be open source and auditable I must be able to fully disable the AI AI must clearly indicate its uncertainties and limits

09. Would you test a Bitcoin wallet with an AI assistant on Testnet, with no real funds?

Yes, on browser / PWA Yes, on Android APK Yes, on iOS (TestFlight) Yes, on desktop Yes, whatever the platform Maybe, depending on the technical guarantees No

10. What would be the ideal role of a Bitcoin AI assistant — or the line it should never cross? (optional)
