thats not what we were talking about. but since you bring it up your node is irrelevant. if government pressure makes miners follow a fork, nobody is adding to the chain your node is looking at. the difficulty drops to meet the miners that remain on your fork and it's worth fuck-all. miners and large economic nodes are what matter. your node is for your own personal privacy and security.

This is actually a great reason why having miners with alternative sources for income weakens your network. In your attack scenario bitcoin miners can only make bitcoin so they are economically incentivised to make sure they are in consensus. While monero miners have a more complicated revenue function. They might earn mining monero or fiat with alternative uses. So their commitment to mining is not as strong. In that sense monero nodes are less powerful since they can't dictate as much power of what they accept as monero consensus from and economic perspective while bitcoin nodes wield significantly more leverage over bitcoinn miners
