In India, the government is ready to implement or give leverage blockchain technology but alarmed of cryptocurrencies. India always being known for it’s growing IT industries. Even when we talk about blockchain, Blockchain projects are creating new job categories, leading to hiring more full-stack, front-end, and back-end engineers but due to lack of regulations over 80% of blockchain developers in India will be forced to move abroad or work only on foreign projects. One more thing Reserve Bank of India released a statement directing all regulated entities, including banks, to stop dealing with individuals and businesses dabbling in virtual currencies. This amounts to a ban on banks in dealing with companies or individuals that trade in cryptocurrencies. So you can now understand how hard these regulations are!
