this is a big stretch.

Bitcoin miners aren't incentivized to be in consensus. they're incentivized to follow the fork that will make them the most money.

Monero miners are only different on n that they might fuck off and do something else if it's more profitable than mining Monero, so you could hypothetically say that you lose network security in that event. it's just a guess though and there's no compelling reason to believe that Monero would lose hash in the event of a contentious fork. lose it to what exactly? why?

and no, your umbrel doesn't have any leverage over what miners do. they're looking at where the big money goes and how to remain profitable.

People who bitcoin are the only people who matter in this senecio you speak of. They are the people who hold use the value on the chain. In a scenario where the miners what to earn & mine on the more valuable chain. Only the people who choose the correct bitcoin principles matter.

in what sense do they matter if difficulty drops to zero and the true fork dies?

Yes the shitcoin will end up like bcash.

Assuming that miners follow the fork that you approve of.

if they have financial incentive to mine some bullshit chain with BRC tokens forked in, then maybe you lose.

So given that bitcoin is distributed where large institutions hold something like 10% where are these minors going to mine? Where's the valuable bitcoin
