[2017-05-08] Narendra Modi government is looking to deal with Bitcoins

[Bitwah]

Ending years of wait-and-watch policy, the government is set to take steps soon to regulate the use of virtual currencies (VCs) like Bitcoin in India. A government panel, formed on April 12 to suggest measures to deal with VCs, are veering towards a consensus that “it is not something which needs to be promoted”, said an official aware of the matter.

Exactly bitcoin or altcoin is not taken as digital currency ,it is taken virtual currency.firstly it was not made to make it as stable currency payment option such as paytm,paypal ,etc.it is similar to share market or forex trading asset but it is more convenient , anonymous, highly secure and everyone can access it .
