“Fact is Bitcoin is not Illegal, the government has to make a decision on it” – By, Mr. Kumar Gaurav, CEO Cashaa
What is Bitcoin? Why should one opt for it?
Bitcoin is a new currency that was created in 2009 by an unknown person using the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. It is a decentralized completely peer to peer, borderless less, a transnational digital currency which only is controlled by the owner and nobody in the world can stop or cease the valid transaction. The cost of the transaction in the network decreases drastically with better security and zero settlement fraud compare to existing banking or payment infrastructure.
In India, Bitcoin is considered to be illegal, what is your view on the same?
Fact is Bitcoin is not Illegal, the government has to make a decision on it. In my view as a tech-savvy country, India will take the advantage of emerging technology instead of considering banning it.
If it is legal, how can Indian consumers buy and get benefitted with it?
India has one of the advance banking infrastructure and visionary government, which delimits the usage of Bitcoin in India. But still, Bitcoin can be surely used as a great store of Value for Indians. We all are moving towards the digital era, We have seen how our life has been changed by the Internet. The same will happen with anything which is valuable. And it turns out that Bitcoin could be one of the best store of value, In fact, better than Gold. In past 8 years, bitcoin has proved that it’s one of the safest way to store value online, which is only being controlled by the owner.
Bitcoin is a product of its underlying technology called Blockchain which can be applied and will be benefited in many ways. And Indian government understand this very well. Many state governments in India is working on projects such as moving Identity, benefits etc on Blockchain to create a secure and robust digital India. Auxesis Group in India is working on a project where it has used AuxLedger, a blockchain based ledger to store more than 53 Million Identities for Benefit distribution.
What is the future of Bitcoin in India and globally?
Given the past performance data future of Bitcoin is very bright globally and it’s gonna be grow more and more due to increasing network effect.
As per my knowledge, Bitcoin has been growing at a fast pace since two years, but has witnessed a decrease recently. What are your views on the same, and if you foresee any challenges of the same on Cashaa?

However, it turns out that consumers and businesses are struggling to leverage the benefits of the Bitcoin infrastructure due to poor Usability, non-customer centric approach, and improper legal implementation.
