Bitcoin is a 'digital currency'. Just like a paper currency, you can exchange it for goods or anything (for this anything, you might want to google bitcoin and dark web). You can also mine bitcoins or generate bitcoins from your own computer in exchange for nothing. Then how does it amount to a  currency...

The 2G spectrum scam case verdict has been delivered by a special CBI court on 21st December 2017. The court acquitted all 18 members(including the then telecom minister A Raja) in a case that was filed seven years ago and was a big cause that led to  NDA VICTORY IN 2014. The verdict raises certain questions on several parties such as CAG ( Comptroller and Auditor General  ), CBI (Central Bureau Of Investigation) and  conspicuously the Modi government.
