Right now the Bitcoin is about anonymity. It uses a protocol called TOR (The Onion Router) that allows the giver and receiver to remain anonymous, which makes it dangerous. In my book, it's used by the criminal underworld.
And I guess this is the portion which will be picked up when politicians / decision makers start gathering information about bitcoin.  |

Few months back, I've had brief passionate discussion with Mr. Subramanian about Bitcoin and bitcoin. He had amazing understanding of both like scholar. I've been contemplating on other side since that meeting. |

He seems to have got his facts wrong in this interview. His understanding can be improved. |

If you're talking about my facts/understanding then frankly I'm struggling to improve when it comes to tech giant like bitcoin. And if you've questioning his understanding/facts then, you might be right Mr. Satoshi. |

All you have to do is read the posts in this thread and you will have your answer. |

Estimated 5,000 bitcoin owners in India. How many would be in this forum? How do they get the figure? Though I am not surprised its this slow. Barrier to entry is too high. Would be easier to get them into alts and then BTC, but then these alts are screwed at the moment. |

Been a while since I have read a full book without keeping it down. Couple of glaring mistakes, like dell laptops catching fire and then apple releases an update?? |

And something more interesting
Tumkur, Karnataka-based Bitcoin company Unicoin, which offers Bitcoin wallets and a mechanism for people to transact in Bitcoin currency, has offered to give out Rs 200 worth of Bitcoin vouchers to anyone buying Subramanian's book.
