Bitcoin is a digital currency that enables individuals to transfer value to each other and pay for goods and services by-passing banks and the mainstream financial system.
Despite Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reluctance to recognise the cyptocurrency, the interest in bitcoins in India has not declined.
"The creation, trading or usage of VCs including Bitcoins, as a medium for payment are not authorised by any central bank or monetary authority. No regulatory approvals, registration or authorisation is stated to have been obtained by the entities concerned for carrying on such activities," the RBI had said.

“It took us about three years to gather one lakh (100,000) registered customers and in last one month itself we have seen about 2 lakh (200,000) customers registering with us,” Sathvik Vishwanath, co-founder and CEO of Unocoin, a bitcoin exchange, told Quartz India.
According to the Economic Times, BNP Paribas in a report said, “Bubble does not mean that it will burst soon. It depends on a host of factors, not least the possibility of self-fulfilling expectations that the price will continue to rise and this will bring in more participants. While the dotcom bubble inflated and burst, the capital that was diverted into the sector facilitated emergence of some of today’s giants like Amazon and Google. We are seeing a shift in resources. Is this a misallocation or seeds of a really worthwhile shift? Time will tell. We suspect crypto-currencies are here to stay.”
Experts are of the view that anonymity and the fact that there isn't any central authority managing the transactions make it a shady financial instrument and highly vulnerable to cyber attacks.
Created in 2009, bitcoin uses encryption and a blockchain database that enables fast and anonymous transfer of funds outside a traditional centralised payment system.
