Will BTC now crash?

BITCOIN could have just been DESTROYED after India’s finance minister Arun Jaitley vowed to ban cryptocurrency and discontinue the use of bitcoin. Will the BTC price now crash after India threatened a digital cash ban?

India’s government said it does not consider cryptocurrencies to be legal tender and will try tp phase out payments using coins such as bitcoin.

In a meeting yesterday, Mr Jaitley renewed India's commitment to ending the use of BTC and other cryptocurrencies.

The ban, he said, was India’s continuing fight against money laundering and the funding of terrorism.

He said: “The government does not recognise cryptocurrency as legal tender or coin and will take all measures to eliminate the use of these crypto assets in financing illegitimate activities or as part of the payments system”.

However, he did not rule out looking further into blockchain technology.

He said: “The government will explore use of blockchain technology proactively for ushering in digital economy.”
