    Thief and Police are time immemorial... Thieves always innovate and are supported by high handlers.... Police overpower them over time and sometimes join them... Truth always wins but evil prevails... RBI has to innovate more and be able to go around /be on top... Simply calling for a ban of any technology will keep us backward and backfire very badly... Crypto is here to stay... Embrace it and do not run away from it....
