Anonymity is an 'inherent risk' in use of blockchain tech: FM Sitharaman

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said anonymity is an "inherent risk" in use of blockchain technology and urged people to take precaution in future with a rise in the use of this technology. Calling distributed ledger technology (DLT) "beautiful", she added, "Unless we...guard ourselves against that anonymous element...we'll be exposing ourselves much more than...we would've imagined."
