Paarug and Aayush talk about FUD that was caused by the recent bill that came out before the Winter Session of the Parliament talking about banning cryptocurrencies in the country. They also go over the article "How India legalises Crypto" by Balaji Srinivasan who's an angel investor and entrepreneur. He was also formerly the CTO of Coinbase and General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz.

Slippery Slopes is a podcast featuring two curious individuals with different views on the world, talking about things that might be a little on the edge, in ways that are definitely on the edge.  We got tired of how things around us were being discussed and talked about, so we've created a show where we take out the BS, and give things the straight talk, comedic spins and deep dives they deserve. We got some hot takes and we take them very seriously. So if the news is causing you brain damage, and political correctness is sucking your soul, then come join the conversation and bring back the days when we could be unapologetic.  Now, let's get this thing going but beware, this might be a slippery slope.
