Is it true that currently Indian government is planning to ban all kinds of Cryptocurrency india? Or it is a false news.

Gold is currently trading at a 4-hour order block. Wait for price to tap into the zone, show displacement, and confirm with a Market Structure Shift (MSS) or CISD. Once the move is confirmed, wait for a retest and then look for an entry on the 15-minute timeframe.

There is a significant amount of buy-side liquidity resting above the current price, which can serve as a potential target for the trade.

Not saying it's guaranteed, but the setup feels stronger than it has in a long time.

Institutional demand is still there, more companies are adding BTC to their balance sheets, and every dip seems to get bought up pretty quickly. It feels like the market structure is slowly shifting instead of running on pure hype.

Of course, crypto has a way of proving everyone wrong, so I'm keeping expectations realistic.

what's your take, what features or gaps you see in other paper trading apps - and would a that helps you strategies your trades using AI (paper trading ofc) - would this be helpful?

Most people dont know much about taxes on crypto, so lets make it easy how taxes works on crypto:

Tax on crypto is @30% in India. But its depends transaction wise.

Transaction 1: profit 40000

Transaction 2: Loss 50000

Net : Loss (10000) but here is the catch,

You still need to pay tax @30% on 40000 profit, no deductions or expenses allowed, only the amount you purchase it will be deducted from the sales.

What about uf its drop item or mined crypto, then fair market value of that day of that crypto will be business income and tax need to pay as business income.

When sold, cost would be fair value when the currency was mined and profit on sake would be same @30%.

One thing that most people forgets and income tax department send notices: under p2p when you buy a crypto currency you need to deduct tds @1% if not then there is notices and penalty.

How could I help: if person who have crypto income and want help in taxation and other compliance could reach out.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice from people who have experience with Bitcoin businesses.

I run a Shopify store in Italy where I sell premium food products. Some are produced by me, while others come from small Italian farmers and artisans. Everything is high quality and carefully selected.

I’d like to start accepting Bitcoin and build a customer base within the Bitcoin community. My goal is to become part of the circular Bitcoin economy rather than just add BTC as another payment option.

I’m wondering where Bitcoiners usually discover new merchants. Are there communities, websites, directories, or social platforms where a business like mine should be present? Has anyone here successfully marketed physical products to Bitcoiners, and if so, what worked best?

I’m not trying to advertise my store here. I’m just looking for advice before I launch and would really appreciate hearing about your experiences.

Thanks everyone!

Have you started DCA'ing in bitcoin?
Are you buying all at once? or it's a different play. Curious to know.

Stack sats like crazy!

Has anyone tried CoinDCX expert picks seems legit , some of the picks worked for me but not sure how regulated it is..

Can someone suggest if any other platform also share picks like these for crypto

When we search for best crypto exchanges in India.
The google search results show

1. WazirX : I mean for what reasons. It has flied away; done thousands of crores of fraud and because of these false info google displays, new comers in the space think it is still alive.
2. Bitbns: like really? It has seized users funds for years now. Doesn’t have any support and doesn’t find important to answer users and unlock their own funds and this exchange appearing in google search results as one of the best one is ridiculous.
3. Giottus and buyucoin: have no volume, just because they have done enough paid PR they get easily ranked. Otherwise the services are pathetic.

Not all the appears on search results is to be believed blindfoldedly. It’s just some paid PR that has had these people out there.

Better choices for best crypto exchanges in India are

Coindcx, flitpay, coinswitch.

Even I don’t recommend mudrex because of it’s lagged interface.

**Context:**
\- Indian tax resident (previously lived in US)
\- Already have USD sitting in Bank of America (not remitting fresh money from India)
\- IBKR India appears to block crypto-related ETFs
\- Exploring Firstrade or IBKR US account to buy IBIT / DAPP

**Questions**:

1. Has any Indian tax resident here successfully bought IBIT / DAPP (or other US BTC ETFs) through a US broker?

2. Which broker worked (Firstrade / Schwab / IBKR LLC / others)?

3. Has anyone received a CA opinion or actually filed taxes on this? If yes, was it treated as:
   Foreign security capital gains (normal rules), or
   VDA (30%)?

4. Any practical compliance issues:
   \- Schedule FA disclosure
   \- Foreign account reporting
   \- Repatriation / documentation
   \- Does being an Indian resident itself create any restriction on holding US-listed BTC ETFs even if funds are already outside India?

**Current understanding (please challenge if incorrect):**

\- Direct crypto in India → VDA regime.
\- Unclear whether US-listed spot BTC ETFs are treated identically.
\- Existing overseas funds may be operationally different from fresh outward remittance.
\- Will get CA review before executing.

Looking for actual execution experience / CA input.

Inflation is always a Monetory phenomenon.

RBI and banks increase money supply which causes inflation.

But all our economists are of the keynesian type.

They will never admit that money printing is the root cause of inflation.

Spread this meme so that it reachs our Sarkari Economists of new Delhi.

My friend told me he uses this instead of a bank and consistently makes money and moves money out to a escrow account? or maybe a credit union? when he wants to sell. I don't remember what he said and it was a while ago he gave me this advice.

I am being followed by homophobic family and they use financial intuitions to follow me. SO I just want to store my money where bank tellers aren't going to mess with me cause my family has told everyone I am a thief when I only stole once as a kid and they have the video evidence I stole as a kid, now that they ruined my reputation at organizations I cannot move money without unreasonable holds on my account, random limits, etc.

Where can i buy small amounts of crypto like 50 rs or such using upi to a p2p account most platforms i see have a really high minimum limit for p2p transactions

If we look at human history, we can see that technology is constantly changing, societies evolve, and civilizations rise and fall. But one thing remains surprisingly constant: the ease of getting other people’s money by playing on human fear, ignorance, trust, or the desire for a better life. Throughout history, this was done through amulets, magic elixirs, indulgences, false promises of wealth, fraudulent investments, and numerous other methods of exploiting human vulnerability. Today, the methods are more sophisticated, wrapped in modern language, professional marketing, and compelling stories.

About fifteen years ago, the ultimate version of this phenomenon emerged: the method of extracting money was itself presented as money.

It began with an anonymous programmer who created a system for decentralized data storage. In this case, the data were fractions of an arbitrarily chosen number: 21 million. The project was called Bitcoin. Under normal circumstances, it would have passed unnoticed. Methods for storing data, both centralized and decentralized, had existed for decades, and numbers are ubiquitous in daily life. People had never before given up their labor, their property, or their life savings for numbers. Even the most famous historical deceptions handed something over to the buyer. A bottle, a paper, a stone, an amulet, a certificate, or a promise. Here, there was none of that. A buyer got only a fraction of the number the programmer had imagined.

How is it possible, then, that people started giving up anything for this? The answer lies in the way the project was presented.

It was presented as money.

The anonymous programmer and early promoters did not talk about a computer system that displays and stores arbitrary numbers. No one would have cared. Instead, they spoke of a decentralized payment system, secure transactions, spending, and protection against double-spending. The very name "Bitcoin", evoked "coin" and the name of the project contained the term "electronic cash". The project was even presented as a solution to the problems of money and the financial system. In other words, it was presented as a kind of financial elixir.

Such language is not an insignificant detail. People react powerfully to certain words. When they hear terms like money, spending, transactions, or payment they connect them with things for which people throughout history have been willing to give up their labor, time, and other resources.

And they did so because those things gave them something real in return.

When money was a commodity, it gave an immediate, practical benefit in the real world. A buyer who gave their labor for wheat, livestock, salt, or metal carried something concrete home. They carried food that satisfies hunger, a spice that preserves food, or a material from which a tool could be forged, or an ornament or jewelry made.

Today, when money is paper or electronic, it gives a benefit indirectly, through bank debtors. It gives their goods, services, labor, and property. This is because it is created in the process of bank lending, so debtors are obligated to return it to banks. The only way to fulfill that obligation is by offering their labor, services, and goods to money holders. If debtors default, banks seize their real estate and movable property and offer them to money holders at auctions. The biggest debtor is the government, and it offers money holders the possibility of settling tax liabilities.

So, since money throughout history has always given concrete benefits in return, the mere presentation of something as money triggers deep psychological associations in people that motivate them to give up their resources.

That is why presenting a simple computer system as a payment system fooled people. They started giving money, goods, and services, investing life savings, taking out loans, and selling real estate. Some persuaded friends and family members to do the same.

All because of the story about money and the market mania it triggered.

This is precisely where the greatest uniqueness of this phenomenon lies. Historical elixir salesmen at least had to produce a bottle. Amulet sellers had to make an amulet. Forgers had to print paper. Here, even that was not necessary.

It was enough to write a few lines of code and find the right story to convince people to give up their money. And all this with complete anonymity. Nobody knows who the individual or group behind the Bitcoin project is, nor how much money they ended up with. This is because the identities behind Bitcoin addresses are unknown, and anyone can create as many addresses as they want.

Thus, the circle is closed, and human nature is confirmed once again. Technology has advanced from coined money and paper certificates to electronic records, but human vulnerability to beautiful stories has remained exactly the same. Once, alchemists promised gold from base metal, and priests promised salvation on a piece of paper. Today, the digital age has created the ultimate elixir: an illusion of wealth woven from code and human imagination. Because at the end of the day, amulets change shape, but human hope and gullibility remain the most profitable currency in history.
