https://redlib.nadeko.net/r/Monero/comments/qm2hax/comparing_bitcoin_network_to_monero_network/ This is some rough math from years ago, I read a more recent article but can't find it at the moment. Point is relative to Bitcoin, monero actually has a proportionally higher effective hashrate. That does effective hashrate mean? Well they can't be compared one to one directly since Bitcoin is ASIC mined and Monero RandomX. For equal cost, Bitcoin mining will produce a hugely greater number of hashes than Monero by design. Moneros mining is designed to be most efficient in CPUs with no ability to create specialized ASICs. According to that users calculations, Monero's effective hashrate was about 4% of Bitcoins at the time. You'd have to calculate these numbers today relative to the market cap difference but at the time of the post Nov 3 2021 Monero market cap was $4.9 Billion and Bitcoin at 1.2T placing Monero market cap at 4.08% (Data from coinlore.com). I encourage someone to recalculate this today I'm curious if the security budget is still 1-1 with Bitcoin relative to market cap as it was Nov 3 2021 but suffice to say Monero is not massively more insecure compared to Bitcoin. It is proportionally secure.

Thank you very much
