    Government Cautions People Against Risks in Investing in Virtual ‘Currencies’; Says VCs are like Ponzi Schemes
    Show AI Summary
    Virtual currencies not legal tender: investors warned of speculative risks, cybersecurity threats and lack of regulatory protection.

The Government and Reserve Bank have not authorised any VC as legal tender nor licensed any entity to operate exchanges or intermediary services for VCs in India; participants therefore transact without regulatory protection and at their own risk.
