Is cryptocurrency legal in Nepal?

So far, cryptocurrencies are illegal in a few countries, whereas the rest of the world either sees it as fitting to utilise these ‘monies’, or keeps them in a grey area of financial law. Similarly, though most countries in the world do not criminalise cryptocurrencies, they have yet to define their usage as monies or commodities, thus making varied classifications all over the world.

Nepal Rastra Bank has already made it clear in its notice dated August 13, 2017, that all transactions related to or regarding Bitcoins are illegal. But it allied Bitcoins to “Foreign Exchanges”, though cryptocurrencies have no foreign central authority to regulate them. This is where the confusion is. Bitcoin is a decentralised digital currency that is traded from one individual to the other, not through banks. It has no issuing or regulating country, and these bitcoins are converted into US dollars simply because dollars are used as an international exchange rate.

Stock Trading in Nepal – An Introduction

A share is essentially a fraction of a company’s ownership. Purchasing or selling shares entails acquiring or disposing of a portion of the company’s ownership. The stock market, also known as the share market, is a place where you can buy and sell stocks. In order to raise money, public corporations usually sell shares to the public, but the stock market often trades other instruments such as debentures, bonds, and mutual funds.

Dividends are a way for you to get a piece of those companies’ earnings as a shareholder. While share trading is an exciting way to earn money both actively and passively, it is also risky since investors can have to bear the loss if the company fails. As a result, as a novice, it is important that you gain a thorough understanding of the market before investing your money in stocks.

Here is a brief introduction of how you can participate in the game of stock trading.

1. GET STARTED: OPEN A DEMAT ACCOUNT

Opening a dematerialized (DEMAT) account at one of the Depositary Participant (DP) licensed by the Central Depository System and Clearing Limited (CDSC) is a prerequisite to participate in both primary and secondary market. Most commercial banks, merchant bankers and stockbrokers provide such services. If you already own some stocks in your name, then you can give your DP to dematerialize your physical share certificates into dematerialized shares. The DEMAT account is similar to a bank account which debits and credits the shares you sell or purchase. Most DP’s also provide clients with facilities to check their DEMAT account status online as well.

2. KNOW THE MARKET

To get started in the stock market, it is essential to first understand how the market functions. Securities Board of Nepal (www.sebon.gov.np); the sole regulator of the capital market is a useful source for primary information. Its website provides information on various securities laws, investor education, and upcoming public issues amongst others. Similarly, the Nepal Stock Exchange (www.nepalstock.com) the sole secondary market; and its mobile-based application is a great source to get hands-on information. There are many other popular websites that provide constant updates about the capital market such as; Share Sansar and Mero Lagani. Furthermore daily national newspapers, websites of merchant bankers and credit rating agency – icranepal.com – also provide good information.

3. PARTICIPATE IN THE PRIMARY MARKET – APPLY IN PRIMARY OFFERINGS

One of the best opportunities to participate in the capital market is to apply for primary offers in the primary market such as; Initial Public Offering (IPO) or Further Public Offering (FPO). Most companies offer primary issues to the general public at face value of NPR 100 per stock, or at a premium based on their valuations. The risk is lower when you purchase in the primary market as you get an opportunity to buy shares at a lower cost as compared to purchasing those shares in the secondary market once they are listed. Also, look out for opportunities to participate in the primary offering of mutual fund schemes which can be a beginning point.

News about primary issues generally comes out in national newspapers and are widely announced on other media platforms. Once you know the primary issues are out, you can read their prospectus to see their detail information such as; past and projected performance, & management amongst others. You can also look at their credit rating provided by a licensed credit rating agency before making the decision to invest.

4. PARTICIPATE IN THE SECONDARY MARKET– OPEN A TRADING ACCOUNT AT A STOCKBROKER OFFICE

All the stocks offered via the primary market are listed in the secondary market i.e. Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE); currently, there are 231 companies listed in the stock exchange. The secondary market provides the platform to sell the shares you hold or purchase new shares from the market. The share price of these listed companies and the value of NEPSE Index changes every day based on total demand and supply of shares in the market.

If you wish to get involved in the secondary market, you will need to open a transaction account at a stock broker’s office. There are currently 50 stockbrokers licensed by NEPSE while there are a few stock broker offices outside Kathmandu. Once you open an account with a stockbroker, they will provide you with a unique ID code via which all the transactions in your name will be executed.

To make a purchase or sale order you will simply have to call your stock brokers or visit their office to place an order, make sure you have the shares in your DMAT account before you place a sell order to your stockbroker. The stockbroker charges some commission as a brokerage fee for each transaction while you have also have to pay a capital gain tax of 5% if applicable while making sales.

5. STILL CONFUSED- SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP

If you are still confused and less confident about entering the market or you do not have time, energy and resources, do not worry as there are a number of professional licensed Portfolio Management Companies providing you with a full range of products and services under Portfolio Management Services (PMS). Based on your investment goals and expectations, these portfolio managers develop portfolios matching your risk appetite and invests in the capital markets on your behalf. The portfolio manager charges minimal annual and performance fees while these services offer you the opportunity to grasp the benefits of the capital markets. Moreover, you can also handover your existing portfolio to these portfolio managers for restructuring and further management.

All in all, as the stock market is constantly evolving and getting technical, retail investors are highly advised to seek professional advice and avoid making investments on herd mentality – invest wisely!

Leadership tip: Can Toastmasters serve as your cue?

James Clear explores how our environment affects our habits in his best-selling book Atomic Habits. If we want to read more books, placing books in various parts of our house can serve as a sign to our minds to read; similarly, placing notebooks and pens throughout the room might serve as a sign to write.

If you want to improve your leadership and communication skills, you’ll need to start with a habit. Toastmasters might be a good place to start.

While we may have always been told that communication and leadership are necessary abilities, we may not have always had the opportunity to put them into practice. Furthermore, these are talents that we improve through practicing. We may fumble and fall at first, making the initial step terrifying and frightening. This is where the environmental cue becomes even more important. You are permitted to go blank and forget your lines at weekly Toastmasters club meetings as long as you strive to take that first step.

This has prompted me to explore with speechcraft and other aspects of communication. With butterflies, boxes, and glasses, I’ve presented speeches. As part of my lecture, I set up the keyboard and played Mozart for the crowd. I’ve put on a magic hat and done tricks that I completely forgot about halfway through. Some of them were successful, while others were not.

When I found myself in a situation where there were leaders, I decided to improve on my leadership qualities by joining the club executive committee. I had the opportunity to reflect on my strengths and limitations as a communicator and leader in between leadership responsibilities, meetings, and actions. When I had the opportunity to serve as the division editor for Nepal in 2019/20, my relationship with material grew even stronger. Many doors unlocked themselves on this journey, and it was a nudge to open them, both personally and professionally.

Toastmasters’ philosophy is vast, but if I had to summarize it based on my personal experience, I would say it is the opportunity to try new things. There are a plethora of cues in Toastmasters’ Pathways education program. The ability to think quickly on your feet, the agility to detect compliments and recommendations, and the versatility to build various speeches all become transferable abilities. The teachings become inseparable as you figure out what works and what doesn’t for you. You take it with you wherever you go, at home, at work, and everywhere else.

Toastmasters has a long and illustrious history, with over 95 years of experience. You might want to dive in for the pearl, or you might want to dive in for a swim, depending on your ambitions, but the most essential thing you’ll find here is an environment in which to grow yourself. Can Toastmasters help you with all of these things and more? You are the only one who can tell.

Kickstart Your Own Awesome Podcast

While half of the population of the United States is a loyal listener, many Nepalis are unfamiliar with the phrase “podcast.”

Podcasts have been popular in the United States, and they have the potential to becoming so in Nepal, because they may be listened to at any time. You may listen to your favorite podcasts on your commute, while working out, or while doing domestic tasks.

So, if you plan to establish your own business as a Nepali, you will have an advantage because this market has a lot of potential and is still unexplored. You may get the worm by getting up early. The best thing about starting your own podcast is that it costs very little money. All you’ll need at first is a microphone and a nice laptop.

You can start with it as a side hustle and work your way up to full-time status after it has gained a significant following. Here are some pointers for getting started with your own podcast.

1. Plan ahead

Consider the theme. There will be a theme for the podcast. It might be centered on political debates, or you could give life hacks. Also, consider if you want it to be completely scripted or completely spontaneous. When you choose a theme, you can listen to similar podcasts to gain a more in-depth understanding and better assistance for running your own show. You’ll understand what you need to do to stand out and engage your audience.

2. Be consistent

Once you’ve started, you’ll need to be very active to keep the users involved, or you’ll lose their attention. When Instagram only had 100 users, the app’s founders were more concerned with keeping those 100 users than with attracting new ones. As a result, if you do not update on a regular basis, you will lose users. Setting a deadline and making sure you meet it and release a new podcast when it’s due is the best way to go about it.

3. Keep a track of your audience

On top of that, you can monitor your audience’s response on your social media accounts and construct your podcast around it. You should review analytics data if you want to expand your user base and keep existing listeners engaged. In this case, you can use a hosting platform like Blubrry (https://www.blubrry.com/) to evaluate listener demographics.

4. Do not lose your focus

When your target audience is specialized, you must recognize that you cannot lose sight of them because they have been addicted to your podcast as a result of your targeted content. If your podcast is about how students may make money through side hustles, for example, you should not switch to another successful podcast with a large audience and instead start publishing podcasts about the current fashion trends.

5. Keep a relevant name

If your podcast is about startup success stories, you can call it after the type of content you provide. Because it allows users to find your podcast without having to read the details and then decide whether or not to listen. If your podcast’s title does not provide listeners a clear indication of the topics you cover, they may merely scroll through the list and never opt to click on your podcast. The ideal marketing technique is to keep a very distinct name.

6. Give your audience the best listening experience

Because podcasts are all about listening, it’s critical that the audio quality is excellent. You’ll need a microphone, microphone stand, USB box, compressor, and headphones to make a podcast. You must ensure that they are of the highest possible quality. Tim Ferris demonstrates how he sets up his podcast in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRxVEcbh-Dk).

If you are just beginning, you can use your smartphone for recording voice. Don’t worry! these days smartphones come up with kickass microphones and can do the job very well.

7. Unravel the astonishing details of the story

If you want to make an impact, you need to unearth the most obscure details of the tale you’re presenting your audience. Guy Raz, a well-known podcaster, advises his guests that if they dive into their past and share previously unknown stories, people would be able to relate to them better and want to speak with them.

8. Get feedback before you launch

Inquire of your parents, as well as sincere friends or mentors. If you’re still in college, request that your teachers listen to you and provide you with valuable feedback. This will assist you in making final modifications, and you can honestly treat them as your listeners, using their comments to make changes as needed. Of course, you are the one who makes the decisions here, so you may choose which advice to disregard and which to follow.

Always keep in mind that overnight success is a fiction, and you’ll need a lot of patience to build and improve the podcast you’ve always wanted to do. Make a name for yourself in the podcasting world.

Best wishes!
