Miners have invested millions in bitcoin, do you really think they're so stupid to destroy it?

If you are opposed to the miners, you should think twice about your opinions, because miners only want 1 thing.

Miners want bitcoin to be successful, because otherwise they lose millions.

That is logical assumption, and in all this argues in the forum about bitcoin next step I believe that miners will come up wish some good solution in the end. Like you said millions of dollars are in the game, and why would they ruin all that, and all future potential that bitcoin have

Maybe, because they might have no other option left for them specifically?

What I mean to say is that they feel that their days are numbered anyway. The future of payment processing seems to be lying with instant transactions and with SegWit activated and Lightning Network just around the corner miners are inexorably set to lose their influence and power (read money). So they don't have to particularly care about Bitcoin with themselves no longer around, that's pretty obvious. And if they have been offered multimillion "severance payouts" to finally destroy Bitcoin, they (basically, a few mining barons) might agree to accept such offers after all
