Google's white paper also forced a reevaluation of the structural differences between Bitcoin and the Ethereum ecosystem. While Bitcoin's main issue remains "coin theft" through signature vulnerabilities, Ethereum's reliance on complex protocols—including layer 2 scaling solutions and ZK-rollups, which often use trusted setups—creates a more intricate threat profile. When asked whether these dependencies make Ethereum fundamentally more "fragile" than Bitcoin, Ziskind explained that the difference lies not so much in architecture but in the consistency of protected data.
