That's the beauty of this.
It's optional, and you can pass!

BitcoinIsTheFuture
In the future, are transaction fees high enough to keep the security high enough to offset the drop in blockchain subsidy? If prices drop temporarily due a global virus or wide-spread large-scale fraud or government ban, would miners shut off their rigs until the price recovers? Would the price climb, while mining was down?

No, it's not really optional. It exploits one of the vulnerabilities in the Bitcoin protocol: the fact you can soft-fork in additional chains with just a majority of mining hashing power. It would be good if we found a way to fix this.
