Less than 1% Indians are aware about cryptocurrency...

[Nikhilk]

  According to some news, less than 1% Indians are aware about the thing called cryptocurrency, that means less than 1cr people
So I think their is long way to go for Indian crypto market

[onrise]

Slowly but gradually people are understanding this cypto currency due to various coverage in print and media. May be % wise not very sure but yes especially in rural areas they are unaware. But I think in coming time once the stand becomes clear of Government than it would be known to majority of them.

Numbers like that mean nothing. Did you know that compared to the cows and buffaloes in India, there is only .0015% donkeys? That means there is a long way to go before donkeys become mainstream.

In India, only 34% of the total population are internet users....So in that scenario, you can't expect more figures. But yes, early players in Indian crypto market will definelty get a milage above these upcoming newbies.

LOL... its a ticker symbol. One doesnt have to be Indian to make a coin called Rupee. Just like one doesnt have to be American to make a coin called USD. One does not also have to be an alien to make aliencoin or a bird to make feathercoin.

Im surprised its even 1%. People dont have basic amenities, let alone internet or the knowledge to read about this. Far bigger things to worry about at the moment.

We have missed the cryptocurrency boat by years. With the current prices it is almost inconceivable that the common Indian can afford to buy Bitcoin. We would rather hold on to our gold, shares, property and fixed deposits.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin has ended up as a purely speculative business. With the early adopters making the most gains and others rushing in to emulate them. It is not what Satoshi Nakamoto intended.

If you remember the game Farmville that used to be a craze on facebook. Everyone wanted to play and have the biggest farm and the highest level in the game. Something like that is now happening in the real world with real money.

Its too late to get into the game now.

I think now even news and print media is covering this story of the cypto currency due to which mostly in urban areas people are aware about it. Also at present it has reached to SC and asked govt to decide if they can regulate it or else ban this. So now govt has to take a decision between the 2 and result would be out soon.

we should make it viral in india . it is better thing for all of us .

[CountDuck]

I had been thinking the crypto craze will sweep over India before the government would be able to do anything and people could make money but it is the other way round. Also, due to threats and stand of government on crypto people are keeping their distance.

Crytos only got wide eyebrows raised when someone used to talk 2 years ago, saying its scam etc etc...
Cryptocurrency word  got popular when BTC broke 5lakh mark and got mouths wide open when crossed 15 Lakh 
All of those raised eyebrows are now down in guilty... and eventually all are hoping in slowly slowly..
So who all thinks it will touch 25lakh before december 2018? 

[JASNISHI]
