In her speech, Priyanka compared the stance of the Indian government on Crypto regulation totally to a traditional Indian family’s thinking, where Indian families force children to become engineers or chartered accountants instead of choosing a perfect path according to potential and talent.
Priyanka claimed that the Indian government is trying to force the crypto & Blockchain industry to degrade it and wants to degrade the adoption because it is unable to understand it, instead of looking at this technology as an opportunity.
Priyanka also noted that many Indian talents are showing their talent in foreign countries because they are not getting a better ecosystem and resources in India, so here crypto and blockchain are also innovative technologies like Computers, and internet, so we should support it.
