All the crypto-currencies have no regulations. That means no one can control any crypto-currency.
For instance, if you want to invest your money in the stock market in India, SEBI(Security and Exchange Board of India) has the authority. SEBI has created rules and regulations.
If you face any problem related to investment in the stock market, SEBI has the authorities to guide you and they can solve your problem. But, there is no one in crypto-currency to listen to your emergency problems.
It was a big threat. Instead of investing money in the stock market via a mutual fund or direct equity, if people start investing in Bitcoin, the economy may face slow down.
