These Countries Have the Strongest Bitcoin Restrictionsby ANUZ THAPA
Bitcoin has been dominating the headlines these days because of its price fluctuation.
This virtual currency, which came into existence in 2008, has been welcomed by many countries including the U.S., Canada, and others. However, several major nations are still more than skeptical.
India, the country which has the world's fifth-largest economy, has actually proposed a bill in Parliament to ban private cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and create its own digital currency.
In the U.S., billionaires like Elon Musk are all-in for cryptocurrency with Tesla investing $1.5 billion in bitcoin, Indian billionaires, however, are urging the government to ban cryptocurrency.
While speaking to CNBC, Indian billionaire Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, who is also considered as India's Warren Buffet, said that he would never buy bitcoin.
“I think regulators should step in and ban bitcoin,” he said. “And they should focus on the digital rupee.”
Well, China, which has the world's second-largest economy, is also not a fan of bitcoin. Although the country bans bitcoin trading, it has started testing its own digital currency.
Vladimir Putin's country, Russia, doesn't allow bitcoin as a mode of payment. The country has even banned its public officials from owning any cryptocurrency.
