Could you elaborate on the reasons behind India's decision to ban cryptocurrencies? Was it primarily due to concerns over their volatility, the lack of regulation, or the potential for misuse in illicit activities? Did the government feel that the risks outweighed the potential benefits of digital currencies, such as enhanced financial inclusion and faster cross-border transactions? Was the ban a blanket prohibition on all cryptocurrencies, or did it target specific aspects or use cases? And what does this mean for the future of cryptocurrency adoption and development in India?
