If miners are smart enough (as they should be for they have long-term investments to return) they need to orient themselves in the direction mostly aligned with the interests of Bitcoin users (or the actual majority thereof). If enough Bitcoin users understand the values that Bitcoin brings to the table, they should enforce that part of the consensus rules which allows them to keep participating in the consensus process. In the end of the day it all translates into keeping the costs of blockchain validation sustainable over the long term.

Weighting in on the limit, leveraging and balancing,
is what people need to educate themselves to do,
if they are to keep the consensus rules to themselves.

Bitcoin is a simple machine, but it works in a mysterious ways!
