Recently I hired some virtual assistants on Upwork to help me grow my website, however, for some reason they tried to destroy my search engine rankings.
Do we know if the country of India has something against bitcoin or anything recent in the news that would suggest this?
There are recent news about the banning and lifting of the banning of Bitcoin in the country of India circulating around the forum the last time I have checked and also it have got into some news articles related to Bitcoin. But as of the moment after all sorts of confusion of banning, lifting, re-banning cycle that happened on India, I think Bitcoin is already legal as of now.
With regards to the virtual assistants that you have hired, you must do report those certain individuals so that they won't be able to victimized other people again and must serve as an awareness to the crowd to get rid of those people who have destroyed your website so that they won't get into the same situation as you are right now.
