After a long time of confusion around crypto in India, today the Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitaraman, has announced that all the crypto gains would be taxed at 30% and only the cost of acquisition would allowed as deduction from sale consideration. However, losses will not be allowed to be set of with other incomes. We would need to wait until the Finance Bill is released to analyze further on how this would work in practice.

However, the above cannot be construed to be completely legalizing crypto space in India, but rather just a move towards the same.

Further, from FY 2022-23 the RBI would be introducing the Digital Rupee which would be a centralized cryptocurrency controlled by the RBI. We would need to read through the Budget memorandum to understand the specifics of this introduction.

I will be reading through the Finance Bill and Budget memorandum and provide more details as the same is released. Stay tuned.

Hi there, thank you for your reply. I want to highlight the below line to you where I mentioned it is minted on the Polygon (formerly known as Matic) blockchain.

Kindly note that, given that this is minted on Polygon under ERC-1155 standard, there is absolutely no gas fees on purchasing these NFTs. The price you see on the NFTs is the price you pay. Hope this clarifies.

Also, I intend to provide an opportunity to people to acquire artwork similar to Cryptopunks at a miniscule fraction of the cost.

Do let me know in case you have any other doubts. Thanks for your message.

Hi Everyone!

I'm glad to announce that I have been able to successfully launch the NFT collection Cryptopunks into the Multiverse wherein we explore Cryptopunks as they enter the era of multiverse. These cryptopunks have an amusing backstory which is as follows:

In the year 2037, a team of scientists from Cosmic Research Labs, inspired by the superhero pop culture, discovered that the universe that we live in, isn't the only universe. They invented the multiverse goggles that let people look into three other universes. The idea was conceptualized by a scientist who originally intended to find herself the right man, since she believed that the right man was not created in her universe.

The three universes apart from the one we live in are the:
1. Mirror world - a mirror copy of our universe
2. Noir world - a universe devoid of all colors
3. Radioactive world - a universe where someone got very creative with plutonium.

Cryptopunks into the Multiverse is a collection of 10,000 punks that live on the Polygon blockchain and explores the concept of this multiverse.

Do check out the collection on Opensea and grab a NFT for just 0.001 ETH.
The prices of these NFT are as follows:
Male: 0.001 ETH
Female: 0.003 ETH
Ape: 0.12 ETH
Alien: 0.4 ETH
Zombie: 0.03ETH
Those who wear multiverse goggles: 1 ETH

Note: This collection is NOT affiliated with Larva Labs who are the original creators of Cryptopunks.

Dear Campaign management - I am working on a NFT project and am unable to devote time to posting (with good content) as per the campaign rules. Hence, I dont think i will be doing you any justice by blocking a place for other candidates. Kindly excuse me and let me quit this campaign. Thanks much.

This seems quite interesting. Can you quote the research paper that referred to infer this? Because the above paragraph is quite confusing and doesnt really convey anything meaningful.

Hi, I have PMd you my offer. Please do have a look. I would be very interested in writing articles for you. Also, would be useful if you could also mention the length of the articles that you are looking for. Thanks.

Can you clarify if this claim in faucet happens everyday or how does this work? Also, i keep seeing everyone saying the withdrawal fees are high. Are you doing anything about it?

Is this a fact? Because i dont see medical research backing this. Would be happy to learn something new, if you are able share it. Thanks.

While i respect your views, I would like to mention that I am from India where the Delta variant had hit and had claimed lives of many who fall within the range of young adults. SO this may not work well.

I am vaccinated. One of my doses cost me $10 and the other one was for free. I had taken the vaccine out of my own will. While it is completely voluntary for you to take the doses, right now i encourage everyone to get it. We didn't defeat the flu all by natural immunity. Many had to get the flu vaccines.

It is quite surprising how, people can object to taking vaccines completely without understanding what it is. While it is prudent avoid a vaccine that has been rushed or experimental, it is a complete lack of knowledge when you avoid it just because you find a conspiracy in it.

Yes, people who take vaccines can still be infected by COVID - but the severity of COVID after taking virus is very low.

For those who are avoiding vaccines, i fully respect your choice to do so. But please maintain a nutritious diet and have enough immunity boosting foods to stay healthy and avoid public places.

Chlorine dioxide is toxic for humans too!! While it may kill the virus, it could also potentially kill the person that is infected with the virus.

I've taken the vaccines and have absolutely no side effects from it. There is no reason to fear the vaccine. In fact, if you contract the COVID-19 there might be a lot of other side effects from the after effects of the virus.

Has the game resumed back again? i thought they had to close down due to some issues in Oxgames. And they had publicly apologized for the same.

In addition to the above, I can also create various other Pixel Art on commission basis and am available for hire right now. You can check my instagram and OpenSea account for samples of the art that i have done.

I do support a just vaccination drive with the right vaccines. However, where a vaccination drive is forced or expensive to the citizens, It does require examination of those enforcing it. In this context, a vaccination drive should and cannot be used for racism or classism.

If the waitress was only following the NYC rules and regulations, i would state that BLM did a wrong thing targeting the woman. They should target the administration instead if it is discriminating them. However, if the waitress or the restaurant itself was using these rules as an excuse to follow racism, i would strongly support BLM.

I absolutely love this story!! The last part, especially where you catch COVID was a twist I hadn't expected. I hope you have recovered now. Cheers mate!

Not even sure which country you are from, but at least in my country there are only a handful of cases of fake vaccines and millions, including my entire family, has been vaccinated and lead a normal life. So unless, there was a black/grey market selling fake vaccines, i guess people who took real vaccines would be living their life to the fullest in your country too.

Firstly, congratulations on launching your NFT project. I am a NFT artist in pixel art myself and coming from my experience you will need to try to build a community around your NFTs before you can huge sales. All the best with that.

Further, i check out your profile and noticed that you have mentioned that your NFT collection in on Ethereum whereas it is actually on Polygon. Such description can create distrust among your followers and hence would recommend you correct it.

To some extent i agree with this news that for obvious reasons real innovation has moved in the Ethereum or BSC blockchains where there are a lot of use cases. Smart contracts are something that have completely changed the way business can be run. It has revolutionized the way the things are supposed to happen. While Bitcoin is the king and the very first blockchain, it has been an amazing innovation in term of P2P payment only. Once Ethereum and BSC got into the game, a lot has changed on how blockchains are seen across the globe.

It is one thing to regulate cryptocurrencies and another to create a witch-hunt of those using cryptocurrencies. Regulation of cryptocurrencies is welcomed by most in the community, whereas the latter part is what scares the most too. And as Coinbase's CEO said, the SEC seems to be showing sketchy behavior and this is what make me skeptic about them.
