You're imagining some bad argument and dancing around the burning strawman.

Yes I do verify the blockchain every 10 minutes. Yes I do it personally. I verify the blockchain by reviewing the source code of the version of software that collects the blocks and verifies it. To do it 'personally' I guess you mean that I do it manually, and why the F would anyone do that?

So, then you are just letting a node run and paying no mind to the blockchain. Exactly like a Monero user would.

You are making my point for me. You are not taking advantage of Bitcoin's transparency. There is no material difference.

If there was an implementation bug exploited you would have no clue until it was already way too late.
