Because it has the opportunity to do many misdeeds. It is heard that in other countries of the world, some people in our country may be investing in it. But there is no guarantee of how to get the money back. Those who are using it are in great risk. We wanted to make people aware about the use of Bitcoin to stop the public from using it. '
