All though the coin based on the internet meme “Doge” is worth 100x less then Bitcoin ($600 = 1 bitcoin) while dogecoin ($0.00062 = 1 dogecoin) it is fueled by a huge community which are buying and trading dogecoins on a daily basis to keep the currency alive.
lies. This article is completely wrong. This is out of the press release linked in this article: The creation, trading or usage of VCs including Bitcoins, as a medium for payment are not authorised by any central bank or monetary authority
Did you read the document cause it clearly states –
The creation, trading or usage of VCs including Bitcoins, as a medium for payment are not authorised by any central bank or monetary authority. No regulatory approvals, registration or authorisation is stated to have been obtained by the entities concerned for carrying on such activities.
Dont you think the title and content is misleading !!
lol
The Reserve Bank has mentioned that it has been looking at the
developments relating to certain electronic records claimed to be “Decentralised
Digital Currency” or “Virtual Currency” (VCs), such as, Bitcoins, litecoins, bbqcoins,
dogecoins etc., their usage or trading in the country and the various media reports in
this regard.
100 billion is the max amount of coins, 13 billion have been mined.
