Hearing a defamation suit filed against the administrator of a WhatsApp chat group, Vishal Dubey, the Delhi High Court said the administrators of WhatsApp, and other social networking services cannot be held guilty of defamation if the members of the group post libellous and obscene messages.Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw dismissed the defamation suit by saying, “I am unable to understand as to how the administrator of a group can be held liable for defamation, even if any, by the statements made by a member of the group.To make an administrator of an online platform liable for defamation would be like making the manufacturer of the newsprint on which defamatory statements are published liable for defamation.” “When an online platform is created, the creator thereof cannot expect any of the members thereof to indulge in defamation, and defamatory statements made by any member of the group cannot make the administrator liable,” said the judge.He also said the group administrators are not required to, or empowered to, filter all the messages before they are posted.

“It is not as if without the administrator’s approval of each of the statements, the statements cannot be posted by any of the members of the group on the said platform,” said the court.The defamation suit was registered against the administrator of a chat group, Vishal Dubey.Various agitated buyers of a housing project in Gurgaon district had posted messages on the group, posting their grievances in delay in getting possession of their flats.Some of these messages targeted Ashish Bhalla, who was earlier associated with a real estate firm that had launched the project.Bhalla then filed a defamation suit in the high court, accusing members of the groups of defaming him and maligning his image, especially when he was not associated with the housing project anymore.Follow Business Insider ongplusFollowNext StoryIndia renews demand for international action against LeT, its shadowy supportersMore from this authorCanara Bank to consolidate Vijaya Bank and Dena Ba...Aviation Ministry may ask private airlines to offe...Cars are set to become costlier post GST.

On 29th December 2015, I became a proud owner of a bitcoin.Well, to be exact, I own 1.0516 bitcoins.I’m planning to get some more.Edit 31 Dec 2015: I now own 3.20 bitcoins yay Edit 29 Jan 2016: 6.88 btcs 🙂 Btw, my wallet code is (in case any of you want to donate 😉 I’ve been interested in bitcoins for a while.win bitcoins every minuteIt’s such a fascinating currency.linux bitcoin distributionThis is not a ‘what is bitcoin’ article, so if you are new to this, I suggest you read my guide for bitcoin newbies – all you need to know to start.bitcoin backup walletThis is what I found out when I first started to get interested in bitcoin.ethereum value reddit

But first, before anything else, you should know that.. I bought it at about USD420 per bitcoin.It hovered between USD200-300 since January 2015, and was USD300 per bitcoin in November 2015.This is nothing though.Bitcoin peaked in late 2013 with an astonishing high of USD1100 per bitcoin.Unfortunately, due to the high volatility, it crashed until ~USD200 per bitcoin.Those who got into Bitcoin really early in the game made some serious money in 2013.Like this man who bought USD27 worth of bitcoins in 2009, forgot about it, and found out its worth USD886,000. In the (safe) investment world, high volatility is a BIG no-no.But I am making a calculated risk here.I believe that the Bitcoin price will soar again in the next few years.I can be right, or I can be horribly wrong and lose everything.Bitcoin have lost most of their value before (USD1100 into USD200 in a few short months!), but there’s a few reasons why I think it will make a comeback.I’ll write about that in another article.

Anyway, back to the main story – Things I found out during the process of buying Bitcoins in Malaysia I’m listing all I know: Yep, that’s all.I quickly realised that most of the information available online are outdated, due to the fast-paced nature of this currency.Your best bet at up-to-date information is through a community.Of course, read other resources too.I like CoinDesk, r/Bitcoin, r/BitcoinBeginners and r/btc.Many people buy and sell from LocalBitcoins Malaysia.Many people buy from bitcoin exchanges because its safest.The communities in Telegram, Whatsapp and Facebook is active and growing.If you’re new to bitcoin and don’t know where to start, please read my guide for bitcoin newbies.Check the comment sections too for additional info.I can’t really find local resources that specifically promote digital security so I wrote the complete guide to bitcoin scams (published in CoinGecko).Bitcoin is internet-based – there are measures in place to keep it secure, but you can never be too careful, because some malware or virus can always steal your details and transfer out all your bitcoin.

On top of the safety list should be ‘DO NOT BUY FROM RANDOM INTERNET STRANGERS’.I’m just highlighting this as Malaysians are apparently susceptible to being scammed.There’s already a couple of forum posts where seller was like, hey dudes I’m selling Bitcoins for cheap, come and get it.Then there’s a buyer who replied, DUDE I transferred my money to you where’s my Bitcoin???Are you kidding me?What lalaland are you living in, transferring money into strangers accounts just like that?People were scammed out of thousands of ringgits.-_- Use common sense la.The bad news is that many bitcoin buy/sell platforms in Malaysia had their Malaysian bank accounts closed down, so options to buy with MYR is limited.CoinHako and CoinBox all used to offer bitcoin buy/sell service.Internationally, there’s actually A LOT of bitcoin exchangers and online wallet service providers out there.But the thing is, most of the international service providers only allow you to buy bitcoins if you do bank transfer to their accounts, based outside of Malaysia.

I haven’t tried this, so comment if otherwise, but don’t you have to pay absurd charges if you send your money internationally?I tried to look for places online where I can buy using credit card, but I haven’t found one that support transaction from Malaysia yet.Ah, the general consensus is that it’s hard to buy bitcoins using credit cards and paypal anyway, so there’s that.Want to spend bitcoin?Wirex specialises in bitcoin debit card, which what you wanna get to make it easier for you to spend or withdraw your bitcoin when the time comes.As I wrote in my where to spend bitcoin article, there are very few places that accept bitcoin in Malaysia, but millions of shops and ATMs globally will accept the Visa/MasterCard-linked bitcoin debit card.Check out this article for more info – if Wirex can help you solve even one of those problems, you should consider getting one.Disclaimer: I provide work for this company, but I honestly like their products and services.ProTip: Use my referral link (or click on the image below) to register an account, then install the Wirex app (android, iOS) and get free virtual card (tutorial).
