“As regulatory glare intensifies on bitcoins due to possible money laundering, cyber security and other risks, over five dozen other virtual currencies have come under the scanner and include a desi version by name of ‘laxmicoin’. NRIs living abroad are expected to be dealing with bitcoins in a big way.
