      Interesting idea and I somewhat agree, still I am not sure if the assumption that BCHwill be a relevant long term us correct. If it isn't then an attack might harm more people then a slow fall into irrelevance.

      You're not making any sense. If you agree that bcash will not succeed (it will fail) then people will lose money and time spent integrating it that will be greater if it dies later rather than sooner. You can't "somewhat agree" with plain logic.

      Your assumption was that BCH will survive long term and will therefore harm more people then the currently involved people. This scenario might become true, but I doubt BCH can compete in any meaningful way with BTC in the long run and therefore it will fade away into irrelevance

      And the upside of a slow demise is, that the true believers will be harmed more, as they will probably hold BCH longer then the not emotionally invested people. I am just trying to think about other reasonable scenarios.

      So I agree with the idea, that it's unethical to support BCH, but I am not yet convinced, that for example not report a critical vuln is ethical.

      You're "not convinced". What does that have to do with anything? You are 100% wrong, and obviously don't see other people as real; everything is just an image on the screen for you. If you understood that this was real, the answer would be obvious.

      Would you please correct me with facts? What exactly is wrong with the above depicted scenario? If it's 100% wrong it should be easy to show give more details, wouldn't it?

      I can't make it any more plain than I already have; the problem appears to be with your understanding of how things work on the most simple level. Bcash is inherently broken and inferior. It dying now will reduce losses and damage to everyone. It is as simple as that.

      Honestly I think you are just not willed to engage in a honest discussion. Try to leave your anger about BCH and its proponents behind you and reread my argument. BCH will fade away into irrelevance and people can cash out. Only Ver and other lunatics will trade BTC for BCH.

      But it could have faded away if Corey kept his mouth shut. He did more harm than good.

      it raises an interesting question: what's the least harmful way for bcash to die. A quick and decisive flash crash or slowly bleeding out due to churn? And if the latter what's still an acceptable buy-in rate of first time holders.

          I'll go with a flash crash. Much like Bitconnect.

          I can live with both outcomes, total wipe out due to a bug or a slow bleed. I just had the impression, that the base assumption, i.e. that a sudden death would harm less people then a slow bleed, is flawed. Math and logic can be surprising sometimes.

          And this kind of a bug resulting in a chain split, had the potential to also harm BTC owners as it could have #rekt exchanges.

          I can live with rekt exchanges. I've had much practice already.

          it raises an interesting question: does it matter? If it's harmful for alts, who cares. If it's harmful for bitcoin, it will either die or get stronger in the long run. Either way is ok. I'd rather have a dead bitcoin, than a broken one on life-prolonging measures, like fiat :-)
