“General people are being persuaded to carry out transactions and do mining of cryptocurrency and many of them are being cheated,” mentions the press release issued by NRB.
A cryptocurrency (or “crypto”) is a digital currency that can be used to buy goods and services, but uses an online ledger with strong cryptography to secure online transactions. Much of the interest in these unregulated currencies is to trade for profit, with speculators at times driving prices skyward.
