spin-offs is inflationary (you have N x amount)  but SC is not inflationary b/c you CAN use BTC only in 1 chain at the same time.
Hmmm....
Unless a side chain reorganizes after the contest period.  If there are enough different SC that are MM, this is very possible.
Does a chain re-org cause SPV linked chains to re-org too?
I'd assume not in most any case, though it should invalidate the SPV for the re-org'd TXs, yes?

I could see a possible workaround on this if somehow the contest period were relative to the difficulty of each chain, but not sure how that would work in practice as that would be a flexible metric within the relevant period.  There could still be a way to game it.
