“India’s finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, clarified on Friday that the government has not made a decision on whether to legalize or ban cryptocurrency.
The Finance Minister stated,
“”I am not going to legalize it or ban it at this stage. Banning or not banning will come subsequently, when consultations give me input.””
The Indian government has been working on a cryptocurrency bill for many years.
A crypto bill was listed to be considered in the winter session of parliament but it was not taken up. Since then, there are reports that the government is now reworking the bill.
Why are they confused on what to do? Banning bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will be dumb at this point, with all the innovations being built in the space.
For instance, people can copy trades from highly performing traders on Tycoon.io.
The features are numerous. Embrace Bitcoin, India.”
Measured approach is not atypical for a government. It’s better than a straight up ban and hopefully when they realize the amount of revenue they could make by taxing crypto, it will find support.
**But will slap you with that juicy 30% tax** 🤡
India is the new China
They will just keep giving FUDs and tax crypto for now.
But will fk us with the outrageous tax laws🤦
They have their own antiquated trump/Biden old ages pensioner president, that still prefers listening to the wireless and sends letters via telegraph machine,
We won’t legalize it, we won’t ban it, we’ll TAX it!!
The best practice for every government
Indian govt is having foreplay with the Crypto.
