Anil Singhvi was however, surprised that the CEO had used company’s money for investment instead of his own money. It would have been difficult for an Indian businessman to put company’s money in Bitcoin.

He said that though, bitcoin is still not legal in India and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) may be launching its own cryptocurrency, the game around this asset class is completely technology based. He said that technology is so powerful that even if you don’t see anything, the currency is still there. 

He said that there was a transformation from coins to currency notes and now we are in the digital transactions. With bitcoin now in the horizon, digital currency is the new reality, the Managing Editor said. 

It is a big recognition for bitcoin if Elon Musk puts his money into this currency and even indicates that he will be accepting it as a payment option.  

He was of the view that Governments across the world including India will look at this currency now, enhancing the acceptance.  

The markets have not reacted negatively in the US despite Tesla being a negative cashflow company, Singhvi said.
