India’s Crypto Investors Beg for Rules, Clarity, and Less Tax Pain 😅

by

Madness, pure madness! A recent report from The Economic Times reveals that 93% of Indian crypto investors, with all the enthusiasm of a man drowning in bureaucratic paperwork, demand regulation. One wonders: is this a plea for order or a cry for salvation from chaos?

Of these desperate souls, 56% cling to the hope that regulation might shield them from the whims of fate-read: investor protection and stability. A noble dream, if only the government could stop arguing over tea and biscuits.

And let us not forget the 84% who sigh, “Yes, the taxes are unfair,” as though speaking to a deaf king. The taxation regime? A dragon hoarding gold, and the regulatory fog? A labyrinth designed by a drunk architect.

Obstacles abound, as if the industry’s growth were a toddler denied candy. Yet 90% insist they’d invest more if the rules were clear and taxes less draconian. A tempting offer, if only the government could read the room-or a survey.

Cryptocurrencies, that modern Prometheus, now dance in the political arena. Alas, 91% of voters admit they’ll judge candidates by their crypto policies. The young, urban crowd? They’ll vote for any candidate who promises to stop taxing them like they’re selling sand in a desert.
