Well... You story is quite similar to that of any investor. You see an opportunity, everyone calls it a trap but you're already seduced by the opportunity and can't get your mind off it. Even if it looks like rubbish at first, you know instinctively, there lies your goldmine.
Am sure your story ended well and your friends, well...life happens.
What's with governments and the cryto world?
I guess they just want her citizen to remain at their mercies. These guys are just all out for their own gain.
The cryptocurrency is no threat to them, I wonder why their selfish bellies are raving against it.
And blockchain is giving the power to the people.
The banks might revoke crypto, but am sure some investors will rise in India to start a private exchange company.
And if Indians don't do it, investors from around the World will see the opportunity and grab it.
