These are in entirely different classes of unlikely.

What's more, you've shown that you know enough about cryptocurrencies that you know this.

You are arguing in bad faith.

I disagree.

I'm ultimately arguing that this:

Is demonstrably false, both from a practical and a technological standpoint.

I've more faith in developed-world governments than I do in Bitcoin's miners.

For it to be demonstrably false for Bitcoin, you would have to demonstrate that it has ever been false.

Which you won't do, because you can't.

Sorry, you’re arguing Bitcoin is technologically immune to a 51% attack?
