Here’s an innovative investment by Tweeter’s founder/CEO @jack and music & business mogul JAY-Z, which aims to encourage Africans to use #Bitcoin , the cryptocurrency. I recall Jack Dorsey enthusiastically discussing with us Bitcoin when he visited #Ethiopia in Nov 2019. #Africa https://t.co/vsAJ7EPUAk

As a community we need to spread more information around why India should positively regulate crypto
— Nischal (WazirX) ⚡️ (@NischalShetty) February 12, 2021
A ban on crypto will set India back by 10 years in this sector.
We’ll lose any edge on this innovation while other countries race ahead #IndiaWantsCrypto https://t.co/TkQQgDcv9o
If managed carefully, this will be one of the most significant philanthropic gifts in history. https://t.co/8arfEm9bk7

JAY-Z/@S_C_ and I are giving 500 BTC to a new endowment named ₿trust to fund #Bitcoin development, initially focused on teams in Africa & India. It‘ll be set up as a blind irrevocable trust, taking zero direction from us. We need 3 board members to start: https://t.co/L4mRBryMJe

Meanwhile, India is making the mistake of banning bitcoin.
— Nikhil Pahwa (@nixxin) February 12, 2021
Here's how it will go.
2021: India bans bitcoin
2021: Case in SC against banning bitcoin
2025: India realised it is losing out on a global, independent currency standard and reverses its decision. https://t.co/Tp9LZcTMxA
Amazing initiative for Indian developers

Such initiatives won’t be possible if India were to think of a crypto ban#IndiaWantsCrypto https://t.co/kmDgqRBi43
something something problems and crypto ain't one or something https://t.co/1sy1CbPxFA

Instead of banning crypto trading outright, make it as difficult as trading in F&O, which requires a lot of financial statements. https://t.co/o0sJD7VvN5

The irony is as India prepares a bill to ban bitcoin in India, the world is turning to our massive technical talent in India to secure and safeguard the bitcoin networkhttps://t.co/cqDvYjiPk1
