New Delhi, 9/6: Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran on Thursday said cryptocurrencies are akin to ‘a world of Caribbean pirates’ in the absence of a centralised regulatory authority and is yet to pass the test of a fiat currency.
He said that the government is pursuing a ‘high-wire balancing act’ to ensure that the gains in growth, inflation, and rupee stability of the last four years are not frittered away.
He said the recent development in Terra-Luna cryptocurrency, which witnessed a massive meltdown last month, is a ‘very important cautionary tale’.
