Thanks for the info on Gerald Shea!
Though if you'd like to comment on the "Shea Memorandum" / Gerald Shea I think that would be more appropriate on the parent comment?
A question was asked, I answered with the relevant quote from the paper, you replied "conspiracy theory" on that specific quote & ad-hominem'ed the author?
Calling "conspiracy theory" is not good-faith discussion and employs a number of logical fallacies like appeal to ridicule & poisoning the well.
What parts of the "Shea Memorandum" do you think are likely non-factual? The Israeli art students?

"Why the Israeli government decided not to
share with us all the critical information they had, and
the extent of that information, is a subject for the public
inquiry. They may have thought some sort of warning
prudent in the event their surveillance activities later
became a matter of public knowledge. But any energetic
Israeli effort to assist the United States in preventing
the attacks would not have served their strategic interest,
in view of the disastrous effect those attacks were likely
to have on the relationships between the United States and
the Arab world."

Check out another post from this substack account before you take it too seriously.

Incorrect - since the merge validators are been getting ETH1 transaction fees & block rewards (even non-mev validators)

You asked a question,
people attempted to reply,
ALL of your responses was adversarial:
"Please cite a reputable source that supports this conspiracy theory. "
"That's not an answer."
"What is the definition of atrocious or atrocity? "
"Atrocity - an extremely wicked or cruel act, typically one involving physical violence or injury. "

I don't think there's any reason for a 100% migration. It would be impossible to get consensus for that, like you said.
Anybody who wants to move their coins over can. There are plenty of economic, technical, and moral (climate change) reasons to do so.
Besides, when it's voluntary, people can choose to lock their coins into whichever network they like Ethereum, Cardano, Polkadot. (note: ETH is the only network that has currently has contracts able to lock BTC)

I don't think actual data is possible, only estimates. Any data would have to be self-reported by miners which can operate 100% anonymously

Well, the security of Bitcoin == amount of transaction fees + block rewards. The cost to 51% attack the network is opportunity cost of mining valid transactions
So you either get secure wasteful bitcoin, or insecure bitcoin. Not really any other options with PoW

It's already happening! There's approx 150,000 BTC locked in the Ethereum network as ERC20 tokens like WBTC and RENBTC

Ethereum is moving to proof of stake shortly. I imagine a lot more BTC will transfer over to take advantage of this & other benefits like defi interest

The CIA and other US agencies hosted innocent looking sites (yoga, books) with secret login areas for covert communication. Iran found one of these of sites and used this to uncover ALL of them, probably through a shared piece of HTML. Agents then could be easily discovered by state monitoring of visitors to these sites. Iran shared this with China & other powers and at least 30 agents killed. Internal CIA reports said upwards of 70% of worldwide operations had been compromised.
John Reidy, a CIA contractor repeatedly raised warnings of these flaws before they were discovered by a foreign power but was ignored and fired.
