I came here after going up and down through that misused #introduceyourself post, and then saw a wrongfully presented face of cryptocurrency to the Indian audience.
That post will affect the Indian authors here on steemit (in some way atleast, although I have hope in the steemit community that they won't generalise that to the country), and the news will affect atleast the conservative minds in India against the use of cryptocurrencies and the significance with which this technology might affect the future.
Regards.
After all this, I'm delighted by the way Nischal Shetty handled the questions asked to him without trying to play safe and say or misquote anything on television, just to evade the interview. And this is the reason why I'm hopeful that the Indian youth is very capable to accept criticism and perform even under pressure.
I'm hopeful that fellow Indian authors will soon accept it as a platform to share their opinions and knowledge and that incident will not be repeated; and that cryptocurrencies' significance will be understood and implemented in the near future.
