In 2008 during the global financial crisis, a white paper called Bitcoin-A Peer to Peer Electronic Cash System was released. It was made for people to control their money themselves. Bitcoin came into existence in the Crypto-currency market in 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;In 2010, an owner of 10000 Bitcoins first time traded it for two pizzas which if he still had the value would have been more than $100 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Increase in popularity of Crypto-Currency Market<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bitcoin&#038;sa=D&#038;ust=1595597100621000&#038;usg=AFQjCNG2BGuRER87KrlH-LcpI2TSJw49bg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The crypto-currency market has been growing day by day in great demand. To purchase cryptocurrency a digital account has to be opened. Bitcoin is the most commonly form of Crypto-currency used.

So it is a transparent and clear procedure as there is no involvement of government or banks in it. It works on a single network called mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p># It works on a software so there is no need to get permission from anybody to trade in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p># It works at a lightning speed, it can conduct seven transactions per second at its optimum level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p># There is no chance of cheating as all transactions are done yourself with no middlemen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p># In recent years, the idea of Universal Base Income is to provide a stable income by replacing the current situation of unemployment and tax spending.

So, it scares them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Crypto-Currency Market attracts Criminals and people interested in tax evasion and money laundering. It had become the latest trend in the Dark Web Market, Silk Road when they were online. But if a person wants to cheat then they will find different means as tax evasion has always been a problem with or without Crypto-Currency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy mode of transfer in Cyber- terrorism, the most famous case was of WannaCry and Petya viruses in which $300 was paid in Bitcoin to decrypt files.<\/li>\n<li>Big risks are there in Investing as huge investments are involved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The Crypto-Currency market stands as a threat to our traditional banking institutions which is a fact being recognized by most governments. As there is no single authority regulating the value of Crypto-Currency, unlike our age-old system of Banks. Cryptocurrency works on a system of decentralization. It is a big change for Banks as in some places ATMs are also there for the exchange of their regular currency for Bitcoins. So transactions are being performed outside our regular structure of banking and can be done by anybody who earlier did not have access to the bank too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As quoted by UK Banking Report on Crypto-Currency Market<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201c <em>Bitcoin users can handle many of their daily payments needs themselves, without the need for interaction with banks, and avoiding the need to incur bank fees.In the same way, the value stored in PayPal accounts moves outside of the bank\u2019s payment systems, depriving banks of valuable payments revenue.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In some of the countries trading in the Crypto-Currency market is restricted and not completely banned.

Rather statistics state that it was the most searched term on Google by Indians.<a href=\"https:\/\/trends.google.com\/trends\/yis\/2017\/IN\/\">https:\/\/trends.google.com\/trends\/yis\/2017\/IN\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But there is no availability of Crypto exchanges in India which is hampering its increase in India.<\/p>\n<p>Reserve Bank of India issued a press release dated 24 December 2013 regarding Virtual Currencies as a warning to all the users, holders, and traders of Virtual Currencies that providing such services is not approved, registered, or authorized.<\/p>\n<p>Highlights of the Press Release were<\/p>\n<p>1. As there is no centralized registry, therefore, the loss of a digital wallet could result in the permanent loss of Virtual Currency. The existence of digital wallets makes them more prone to fraudulent means like theft, hacking, and malware.<\/p>\n<p>2. As it works on the principle of decentralization no single authority has a say in it therefore In case of dispute there is no recourse.<\/p>\n<p>3. They are highly volatile in nature as no backing of any asset is there.<\/p>\n<p>4. It involves financial and legal risk as the status of Virtual Currency is not clear.<\/p>\n<p>5. There are chances of breaking laws against money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism due to its anonymous function.<\/p>\n<p>After these warnings were issued on 1 March 2017, the Deputy Governor stated that to develop confidence in the crypto-currency market regulatory authority should be there. Blockchain technology can not replace currency.<\/p>\n<p><em>Formation of Inter-Ministerial Committee <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;In its first report, this committee tried to lift the ban on the Crypto-Currency market in India. They were of the view that people should be encouraged to use Virtual Currencies.

Both RBI and the government of India have confirmed that Crypto-currencies including Bitcoin are legal in India.<\/p>\n<p>Future of Crypto-Currency market in India<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;We don\u2019t even need to look at the Crystal ball to answer this question. Even if the ban on the Crypto-Currency market in India has been lifted still the future is not very good for the same. There is a lack of regulatory guidelines from the government of India regarding the same.<\/p>\n<p>The government is not encouraging anybody to enter the Cryptocurrency market. The co-founder of Unocoin was arrested for illegally operating the country\u2019s first Bitcoin ATM at a mall in Bangalore. This proves that the future of the CryptoCurrency market is uncertain.<\/p>\n<p>Today, 5 million people in India use the Crypto-Currency market which can easily grow in the future. But it is only possible if the marriage of India and the Crypto-currency market is blessed by the Government of India.<\/p>\n<p>Globally other countries have explored and used the Crypto-Currency market as an asset to building their economy same can be possible in India by forming proper guidelines regarding the same.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>&nbsp;Q-1.
