Bitcoin: All you need to know about Crypto Mining in India

Bitcoin, a digital currency administered by a single controller sent from user to user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without mediators.

Billions of people around the world use cryptocurrencies, yet no country owns it or controls it. Cryptocurrency is also somewhat like the Internet. It is not owned or managed by a country or a bank. They are not issued by the country's central bank, in our case, the Reserve Bank Of India, as legal tender. Neither are they recognized by the Government as legal tender, nor are they regulated by the RBI. There are no laws that prohibit or allow trading in crypto. In that sense, cryptocurrency is like any other asset class such as gold, commodities, or real estate. People trade in gold without the Government creating a law for it. The same is the status of cryptocurrency at the moment. It isn’t a legitimate currency in the conventional sense, which means that you cannot spend cryptocurrency to buy or sell anything in India. The currency of a country is legal tender upheld by a sovereign guarantee. In India, only the RBI can issue any currency.
