Yeah sorry
That was a little abstract and unclear maybe.
Idk if monero people are more plugged into the details or not. I think both communities trust the devs and influencer class A LOT.
I think the monero devs are better trusted than Bitcoin Core tho.
As long as they (the devs) continue optimizing for private digital cash that seems to be well placed trust.
But things change. And if they do I'd expect part of the community to execute a contentious hardfork a la Bip110.
So not that different maybe, just smaller. Like Bitcoin before the blocksize war.

Well, you wouldn't want to sleep on updates for a full year if holding monero, based on what you wrote above. Which is a bit scary to some who presumably aren't that into following the latest changes. That's all I'm saying. Trade offs...
And yes, we all do a fair bit of trusting/following, but the difference is one can be more comfortable "checking out" of the bitcoin scene and remain confident their money is ok.
Unless I'm missing something. I'll be the first to admit I'm not as well educated on forking as I should be. Kinda embarrassing tbh
I should clarify,
your pre-fork utxos are still fine. The new chain knows what to do with them.
You just need to make transactions according to the current rules (ie update your wallet) after you come out of the coma.
Forking is hard because there are lots of ways to do it and they all have subtle differences.
