Ensure cryptocurrency does not end in wrong hands: PM to democratic nations

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday urged all democratic nations to work together to ensure that cryptocurrency does not end up in the wrong hands, cautioning that it can spoil the youth. In a virtual address at the Sydney Dialogue, he said the digital age is changing everything as it has redefined politics, economies and societies and has raised new questions on sovereignty, governance, ethics, rights and security.

“We are in a time of change that happens once in an era. The digital age is changing everything around us. It has redefined politics, economy and society,” the Prime Minister said at the conference, hosted by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. “It is raising new questions on sovereignty, governance, ethics, law, rights and security.”
