1. Read the following passage divided into number of paragraphscarefully and answer the questions that follow it. Certain words aregiven in bold to help you locate them while answering some of thequestions.

Paragraph 1: Recently, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) prohibited, withimmediate effect, all regulated entities from providing services toanyone who deals with or settles any virtual currencies, citing concernsabout the risks that these virtual currencies pose in the context ofconsumer protection, market integrity and money laundering . The truereason behind it is not entirely clear. Over the past year, the price ofbitcoin has spiked in speculative frenzy. People have rushed to purchasecoins in the hope of offloading them at a higher price—and then beendisappointed as the prices tumbled from their previous highs. We cansee how the government might think that imposing a ban willprotect gullible investors from losing their shirts. But by this logic thegovernment should, just as actively, be considering a prohibition ontrading in rare stamps, antiques and hard-to-find Pokemons.

Paragraph 2: So this cannot be why the government has taken thisdrastic step. From the text of the RBI notification it appears that there isa concern around the anonymity inherent in the platform and theattendant challenges this poses for law enforcement. As a matter offact, while every transaction on the bitcoin block chain is, by design,public, the transactions reference electronic addresses that do notcontain any information about the person making it. This is why, at leastsuperficially, bitcoin serves as an effective way to cover your financialtracks—making it the ideal means of exchange for criminal activities likemoney laundering and trading in illicit goods—as well as for lessertransgressions like tax evasion. This veil of anonymity is also a usefulshield behind which purveyors of fraudulent products— goods andservices—can hide, providing them greater cover as they swindleunsuspecting marks of their money.

Paragraph 3: But if you dig a little deeper into how the technology operatesonline, it rapidly becomes evident that there was no real need to take thisstep. As a matter of fact, the much-vaunted anonymity of the bitcoin blockchain is by no means perfect. It is a lot like writing books under apseudonym. As long as your nomme de plume remains hidden, no one willthink to link you with the books you have written. The moment theconnection between you and even one of your books is revealed, the wholesubterfuge comes crashing down.Paragraph 4: On the internet, it is relatively easy to make such links. Givenhow freely information leaks during most internet transactions, it is relativelystraightforward to link individuals with the bitcoin transactions they make.Web trackers constantly send all sorts of information to the other largeplatform companies, allowing them to track page usage, purchase amounts,browsing habits, and a variety of other types of information.

In certain circumstances these cookies also leak personally identifiable informationlike the email address and names of the users. Even where it doesn’t, it is possiblefor malicious trackers to use JavaScript to extract bitcoin addresses from web pagesthat do not leak them by default. Law-enforcement agencies should, relatively easily,be able to collect and analyse this information to link a user to his bitcoin address.Paragraph 5: Prohibiting a service rarely ever serves to completely halt its use. Theonly people who abide by the terms of a ban are those who always intended to usethe service for legitimate purposes. Everyone else simply takes theiralreadynefarious activities deeper underground. If the government’s objective wasto prosecute those who use cryptocurrency for illegal activities, they’d have been farbetter off allowing these transactions to continue in the open where there is achance that they may be detected using the forensic mechanisms outlined above.Now that the technology has been banned and we have driven all who use itunderground, bitcoins will be purchased through cash or other untraceablecommodities. It will continue to be used but we will have less of an ability to link thetransaction to the person.
