HOW MUCH is a $ TRILLION?
A trillion is a 1 with 12 zeros after it.
$1,000,000,000,000
If you were to spend $1 a minute it would take you 34,000 years to spend.
It takes the Fed and US Treasury less than a minute to print $1 trillion.
Get the picture?
Savers of dollars are losers.
Cash is trash.
Trade cash in for some gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum and be a winner.
Legalise Virtual Digital Assets (like Crypto, Stablecoin) in India. Don’t drive them offshore.
India taxes VDAs (virtual digital asset) like they are legal. But regulate it like they are illegal.
India taxes cryptocurrency at 30% Capital Gain Tax + 1% TDS; yet offers no legal recognition, no investor protection, no dedicated AML (anti-money laundering) framework.
The result is:
• 12 crore Indians invest via overseas platforms
• ₹4.8 lakh crore in VDA trading moved offshore
• 73% of India's trading volume shifted to foreign exchanges
• 180 Indian crypto startups relocated abroad
The answer is : compliance in India. Give VDAs clear asset class status in India.
A clear domestic regulatory sandbox, with strong AML guardrails can bring activity back onshore, protect investors, improve compliance and add ₹15,000–20,000 crore in annual tax revenue.
Let us not fear innovation, let us regulate it.
Prohibition is not protection, Regulation is protection.
Step out of India and look at Dubai (0% tax on crypto), Malaysia (no capital gains tax), Singapore, Vietnam, Abu Dhabi thriving crypto hubs where innovation is encouraged.
Meanwhile, India imposes 1% TDS + 30% tax with no loss set-off. Instead of building the future, we’re trapped in useless narratives and fear.
