India adopts BTC as legal tender? Hackers in control of Indian PM's Twitter
India has become the center of attraction for several eyes around the world due to its Cryptocurrency Bill that will be taken up for discussion in the winter session of the Indian Parliament. However, as per a recent turn of events, the Prime Minster's Twitter account was hacked, and the hackers tried to scam the followers of the PM.
BTC as legal tender
After hacking the account of the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, the hackers tweeted that "India has officially adopted Bitcoin as legal tender." The turn of events was covered by a Twitter user by the name of Priya. Furthermore, the hackers tried to lure crypto investors, saying that the "government has officially bought 500 BTC and is distributing them to all residents of the country."The link was actually a fake destination created to scam the investors who visited the page. Looking at the details of the transactions that happened on the address, around 12 transactions happened on the network. The total amount involved was a little more than $4000 (around 300,000 INR).
Office of the Prime Minister of India tweeted about the event, stating that the account was immediately secured and also urged the audience to ignore any tweet by the official account.

India is on the road to crypto adoption, which means that the bill will soon be discussed in Parliament. There are a number of speculations of the bill, and the Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill will also focus on the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency, which is expected to come out soon.Furthermore, the legislature will also put a ban on private wallets and exchange-to-exchange transfers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
