Hmmm.... I can't say I 100% agree with you here... /The Bitcoin network is actually secured by the mining process./ - Don't the node runners also play a role in the security of the network? And what do you say about the centralized honeypot of companies compiling block templates that are helping to assure the miners of a constant payment? Seems like they have a role in the security of things as well?

Maybe I am using to broad a definition of "security?"
