As per ABP They Linked Note ban (500 Rs-1000 Rs) with Bitcoins....


My question is This true ?

Well will check it out and see it. But if they have covered it and spread the news about bitcoin it is a good decision and a word of mouth publicity you can say which all exchange in India are trying to do it in their own way.

its good that  the publicity of bitcoins are on the rise .bitcoins will go high at a very high level  if the popularity increases even inn the indian community  .and people will chamge their fiat money into cryptocurrency which is better for everyone .kudoos :)

It gave me a very negative feeling about bitcoins while watching the video. They are talking about hawala and black money while mentioning about bitcoins and are saying it's not considered legal in India. Hope they don't make it a serious issue about bitcoins.

thats my Question erikalui I asked ABP about this issue they just Ignored and delete my comment from video... Seems They just created a fake news about bitcoins.

They deleted your comment means they don't want anyone to support bitcoins. It's as if they are generalizing everyone associated with bitcoins as black marketers while there are others who are openly trading their black money with banks and the post office.

If this is the case then it is not a very good sign. Try posting your comments again and wait for the reply. Because a bad news certainly is not expected form any good channels if they work with integrity else they would publicize anything if money is being paid.

I think most of educated illegal money holder generally do transaction in bitcoin.thats why most of the millionaire/billionaire did not take a rough move against change note system.

That's absolutely true because many black money holders distributed their money in the accounts of Jan Dhan Yojna people and they even bought bitcoins as there were sellers who were selling coins for old notes, but with cash deposit at their respective banks.

From the video : "Bitcoins are illegal in India" ; "Bitcoins are controlled through website."

I think they should stop spreading wrong and false information. They should have done some more research before spread wrong info !

Yup they just want create rumor about bitcoin thats what media is all about.

Media in India has become just worst, and are all "bought" by different government parties and they just bark what their masters ask them to do.
Bitcoin is such a subject which has scared all the governments of many countries, and in a country like India where already many digital wallets are in use, I don't think these governments will let their pie cut off that they are getting through such digital wallets by allowing bitcoins to be used legally, because they won't be able to get a hold on the transactions which will be done based on anonymity.

Every One talking About This only.... Like Abp news

its not fault of only ABP channel They just generate news on bases of Bitcoin Popularity

But don't you think these guys are creating a false/misleading image of bitcoins in front of Indians by showing it as a "source for people changing their black money for bitcoins"? This is not how we wanted everyone to know about it, still whether positive or negative, I think this will surely get bitcoins somewhere here in India as a lot of publicity is being done currently and I am now hearing about bitcoins everywhere.

One more news In Indian all most bank Managers Know about Botcoins.....

This is not new, it has begun since November 9.
have a look at one more media outlet shedding more negative light on bitcoins.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1725163.0

We need to voice out against this, we need a publication which brings forth the plus points about bitcoins.

When did I say that I don't know about the news? I knew that it's true, but the way media is introducing bitcoins in India should not be the way it should have shown up. PayTM managed to grab a lot of users during these "cashless" times and I find it very hard for bitcoins now for being started to be used by an average user now as PayTM has captured all the market. Not just that bank managers only know about bitcoins, even they were involved in converting old cash into new, which makes all this demonetization thing worthless.

My question is why would they want to portray bitcoin in negative? What is their interest in presenting bitcoin in bad light?
My guess is either they are ignorant or they fear Government would like their support to bitcoin.

The thing here is, they are not trying to portray bitcoins negative first of all.
They don't have knowledge about bitcoins, and most of the journalists that I have seen who had been talking about bitcoins, are just spitting out non-sense and baseless articles without even justifying to what they said. Either they have been paid to do so, as our government might be playing a part in this behind the scenes.
