Well, in the case of rootstock it is traded on defi exchanges. Over 20 shitcoin chains are available, including ETH. You won't get what I consider real bitcoin

Can you exchange any of those for bitcoin?

Real bitcoin only runs on the bitcoin chain, of course. I bet most of these have fake bitcoin that run on their own shitchains. I think rootstock might have a way to swap between chains. There are probably centralized exchanges where you can exchange the shitcoin for bitcoin, but I don't know which exchanges trade which coins.

Well, however roundabout the process is, miners should probably try to get as much bitcoin as they can per hash.

That all happens after the block is mined. Using that criteria, miners aren't for the most part keeping bitcoin. They want US dollars in the end.

Transaction fees are earned immediately, then they own the shitcoins
