Appreciate the links. Seems the crypto community is circling the wagons and getting ready to add more gold to the market. Gold market dropping and cryptos starting to rise.

Yeah man !! India hasn’t banned the crypto . I’m an Indian and I clearly heard the words of the government. It’s just a FUD created by the media . Don’t panic sell . Just HODLING 🔥will save us now .

Thank you @pranithreddy for the reassurance.
Can you please check your local news and forums and tell us for sure.

So what if India does ban crypto, big deal. They won’t be the first country to etch their names in the history books as incompetent.

Thanks for the update
