As a taxpayer, I'm curious to understand the legal implications of trading
Bitcoin Cash. Could you elaborate on whether it's permissible to engage in transactions involving Bitcoin Cash? Additionally, I'd appreciate insight into any potential tax obligations or considerations that arise from such trades. I understand the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies, but I'm seeking clarity on the tax aspects of this specific digital asset. Thank you for your expertise in this matter.
