Thank you for putting this links together! It will really help people to understand the legislative progress of cryptos in India. However, as a early adopter, I diligently follow Crypto Kanoon to get all my doubts cleared about cryptos in India. I recommend you to add their YouTube channel link and Twitter handle details to the main thread because these are Goldmines!

They are a group of lawyers and even have an email ID where you   can post your concerns and tax questions! They have been tremendously helpful to me since all these years!

I am well aware of Danish and CK. He's very knowledgeable from the law side but the face of CK, Mr Kashif Raza, he lacks a bit on the technical side so sometimes gives out a biased viewpoint. But it goes without saying that his contribution to the Indian crypto and blockchain space is invaluable. And they're growing intellectually so that's a plus.

I see there are too many shitposts regarding this subject and not always easy for someone from outside of India to find out what the heck is going on at first glance. This thread should fix that.

This is a thread where I will list a collection of all fact-based cryptocurrency news. Including things that have transpired since 2009 related to this niche leading up to the current political and legal stance against cryptos in India.
