Honestly, if we get to the point where an AI can break cryptography, we've got a hell of a lot more to worry about than cryptocurrency.
Think nuclear launch codes, for example. Just depends on what kind of damage you want to do.
I filed these types of things under worth keeping an eye on, but not worth stressing about. If it happens, it happens, and we'll deal with it. And if it doesn't happen, then it doesn't happen. Pretty much all fiat currencies would immediately fail as well because most fiat currency is just database entries. The only thing that might retain some residual value would be the paper cash or gold
