But if those Bitcoin pools colluded to 51% they would both be abandoned immediately and go out of business.
If an intelligence agency cared enough about monero they could orchestrate a 51% attack bc the network is weak and vulnerable.

Monero is about proprotionately secure to Bitcoin in terms of energy to market cap. The hashrate is way lower because RandomX is intentionally less efficient. I had another reply I made weeks ago that does the math to prove this. This isn't a gotcha, that same major vulnerability of state intelligence exists in both. Actually I'd argue it's worse in Bitcoin due to the single manufacturer ASIC issue I previously discussed. It's such a security concern than the US has declared concern over China's potential influence on this ASIC manufacturing.
