By Imran QureshiBBC Hindi, Bangalore The couple, who live in the south Indian city of Bangalore, are founders of a digital start-up and many of their friends also work for technology companies. "So we thought of merging technology with gifting for the future," said Mr Sharma. "We explained it to our parents and they were very receptive." The wedding took place on 9 December, just four days after India's central bank issued its third warning cautioning investors against buying Bitcoins. But that didn't seem to discourage their friends and family. What is Bitcoin? There are two key traits of Bitcoin: it is digital and it is seen as an alternative currency. Unlike the notes or coins in your pocket, it largely exists online. Secondly, Bitcoin is not printed by governments or traditional banks. A small but growing number of businesses, including Expedia and Microsoft, accept Bitcoins - which work like virtual tokens. However, the vast majority of users now buy and sell them as a financial investment. Only 15 of the nearly 200 wedding guests gave the happy couple "traditional gifts". Mr Sharma estimates they received Bitcoin worth 100,000 rupees ($1,559; £1,169). "The concept is good," said one relative who gifted them Bitcoin but did not wish to reveal his name. "I am sure its acceptance will improve though many governments may not like it now." "Prashant and Niti did not decide on Bitcoin as a gift in the last couple of weeks," said Ravi Shankar, another guest. "It was planned a couple of months ago." The recent surge in the price of Bitcoin has led many to wonder if it is a bubble. Mr Sharma said this did not worry him much. "If you buy something to sell it later then you are creating a bubble. We bought Bitcoin because we wanted to see how this technology moves forward," he said. "Bitcoin is not the only thing that has potential. Blockchain technology is the real deal," he added. Blockchain, the technology underpinning Bitcoin, is a method of recording data - a digital ledger of transactions, agreements and contracts. Many banks have said it could transform the future of financial transactions. "The disruptive potential of blockchain technology is so huge that it just cannot be banned," Mr Sharma said. Experts say they can understand why regulators are concerned. "Regulators find that there is not enough transparency in the ownership and management of cryptocurrency," said Pranjal Sharma, an economic analyst. "It is not that they are bull-headed or orthodox. Governments just want to be careful." Mr Sharma said he and his wife will sell the Bitcoins they have received to fund initiatives that educate underprivileged children.
When Prashant Sharma and Niti Shree were planning to marry, they decided to ask for something unusual as a wedding present - the cryptocurrency, Bitcoin.

Richard Page was struck off following a BBC interview in which he said it was better for a man and a woman to adopt. He was also removed as a non-executive director by Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust (KMPT). During a tribunal earlier he said he "was subjected to a campaign for vilification and victimisation". Mr Page, of Headcorn, Kent, served as a magistrate for more than 15 years and has worked in mental health services for 20 years. In 2014 he ruled against a gay couple's adoption bid. Christian discrimination claim The tribunal heard the other magistrates and court clerk had complained about him being "biased against same-sex couples, bringing the magistracy into disrepute" and being swayed by his Christian views rather than evidence. Following media interviews in which he repeated "it is best for any child to be raised in a traditional family with a mother and a father", Mr Page was suspended by KMPT, and sacked from the bench. Then chair of the trust, Andrew Ling, said Mr Page's comments and continuance as a trust member would have a major impact on staff and patients, particularly lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) staff. Mr Page brought a case against them because he believes he has been discriminated against as a Christian. 'How is it relevant?' In a witness statement presented to the tribunal he denied being homophobic and said the reasons for refusing the adoption in this case were three-fold: one of the applicants had a previously failed adoption application and there was no background on the circumstances of that; the child's foster parents of nearly three years also wanted to adopt the child; and he suspected the applicants of "adoption shopping" in England where the process is easier than in some countries, with plans to then take the child abroad. A foster parent himself, he added: "I struggle to understand how my comments are relevant to my position in the NHS." A spokesperson for NHS Improvement said: "It would be wholly inappropriate for us to comment while proceedings are ongoing." The tribunal continues.

Catherine Greig, 60, acknowledged in court she had agreed to join him on the run in early 1995 and supported him with false ID documents. As part of the plea agreement, she will not be forced to testify. Mr Bulger, accused of leading Boston's Winter Hill Gang, was also an FBI informant against a rival mafia gang. He has denied a string of charges. Mr Bulger and Greig were arrested by the FBI in June 2011 in California shortly after a new campaign was launched that focused on finding her. They had been living in the same Santa Monica apartment for at least 13 years under assumed names, the Boston Globe reported. As the net closed around him he had fled Boston after his former FBI handler warned him that he was about to be charged with 19 murders. After fleeing, Mr Bulger was put on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list. The handler, John Connolly Jr, was convicted for tipping Bulger off. Greig faces up to 15 years in prison as a result of her plea, but federal sentencing guidelines suggest she may serve fewer than three years. Her sentencing hearing is set for 12 June.

The girlfriend of alleged Boston mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger has pleaded guilty to helping him evade capture.
