Overall, cryptos in general and Bitcoin Cash in particular look like 'investments' to treat in much the way one might treat an investment in the 2.15 at Epsom.

Don't be like that.
It's just a currency. That's all.
Just buy some Zimbabwean Dollars now
It's not an investment. It doersn't generate money.
It's not a productive asset like company stocks or debt instruments like bonds.
It's just speculation, just like any Foreign Exchange "punt".
If you want to "discuss" it, you could go to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin and download the code using git, join their developer mailing list, go on IRC and chat with developers.
That'd be as high-technical as you'd get I suspect.Goals

Thanks for the reply.
It sounds like there is no sensible or technical discussion of cryptos on MSE. So warnings about Bitcoin Cash being vulnerable to 51% double spend attacks would fall on deaf ears, to say the least.
Hmmm, I guess I'll have to look for a more grown up forum elsewhere. Thanks again.
Not sure why you have attitude. At least that's how I see it. Maybe I am mistaken, apologies if so.
For such technical issues, surely a developer list would be more suitable? The actual place where people WRITE the code for bitcoin software. They would probably be more open to your question - since they are working on the techical side of things, rather than salviating about potential financial gains.Goals
