So let's start with the Coin Market Capitalization, we are sitting at a 430 Billion Market Cap, there is still lots of speculation about Cryptocurrencies, a lot of uncertainty, as to what direction we will see the Market go in. A lot of people still feel it can go below $6,000 which would see the Market Cap at around 200 Billion and others believe it will make the climb back up to all-time highs. We can never be sure, so I would love to know your take on it?

NEWS IN THE CRYPTOWORLD
INDIA WANTS TO CRACK DOWN ON CRYPTOCURRENCIES - It seems that India isn't happy with Digital Currencies and they are trying their best to crack down and make life a lot harder for their Citizens who invest in Crypto. India has been in the headlines a lot recently concerning Cryptocurrencies, with good and bad news Source I guess they could take steps towards regulating it better rather than banning the whole thing and making it illegal, Would love to hear your thoughts?
“People who have made investments [in cryptocurrency] and have not declared income while filing taxes and have not paid tax on the profit earned by investing, we are sending them notices as we feel that it is all taxable”
RUSSIAN SCIENTISTS ARRESTED FOR MINING BITCOIN IN WARHEAD FACILITY- The scientists were arrested after attempting to mine Bitcoin is a top-secret facility using the power from Supercomputer. In order to mine Bitcoin the computer had to be connected to the internet and as soon as it was connected it was flagged to authorities. A failed attempt I would say, maybe stick to mining from home. Source
“There has been an unsanctioned attempt to use computer facilities for private purposes including so-called mining,”
Maybe better luck next time? If you had the chance would you give it a go? haha
As always I appreciate your Votes and follows

Hey Lauren - thanks for your update...nice job. you might want to take a look at my article concerning Cryptos and India's Considerations. My gut tells me they will shoot for disallowing "anonymity" in order to avoid fraud and illicit commerce. But, India stands to lose out in a HUGE way if they totally outlaw crypto. Why? because there's a huge opportunity on the "tech" side with blockchain platform innovation that can be used in a variety of industries not only there in India but worldwide and India is a "haven" for offshore employment in this area. If the Govt denies all crypto, organizations will not want to engage in Indian developers for fear of sabotage etc. More to come...but something to consider - Todd
Hey Todd, Thanks, I will be sure to check your article out ;) And I totally agree, they will miss out big time on the Blockchain opportunity if they decide to outlaw Crypto, there are so many industries using this technology (explained a lot in other posts) I think it is down to getting it regulated properly, once we find a way to do this worldwide then we won't see these ongoing issue, but a lot of people don't want the regulation or legislation so we will see! But thank you for commenting really appreaciate it :)
India is Not really 'cracking' down. They are simply trying to regulate it to prevent usage of crypto to fund terror activities ....'investments; in crypto are safe in india , profit from crypto trade is ok too as long as one pays tax on it .... not quite bad that :)
They are "cracking down" as they don't consider Cryptocurrency to be legal tender, they have just issued notices to over 100,000 Investors? Yes, I do agree, Tax is Tax, but instead of Banning it completely maybe it's better to regulate it
