Legalization is always a good thing. People can open bitcoin related business without fear, and use it so too. Sure, even in an "illegal" situation, no one can really stop you from sending bits to other person nor stop that other person from considering these bits are "money". But the environment influences our decision and a "legal" environment is more friendly for the most people.
This is an improvement for bitcoin. The more countries that acknowledge bitcoin officially can certainly increase the local bitcoin market in inida and also generate positive bitcoin performance in the world market. More and more people are comfortable using bitcoin when everything is legal. This is sure to make people more enthusiastic and they will not scare every transaction with bitcoin. This is all because there is a guarantee that governs it, the government took part in any decision to make bitcoin better.

"Suddenly, Bitcoin to Be Officially Legal in India"

Bitcoin exchanges in India have been able to operate but they have been self-regulating using strict Know Your Customer and Anti Money Laundering measures (https://veratad.com/solutions/identity-verification/) in place. These areas will now fall under government regulation.
Funny side note--a member of the parliament in India likened Bitcoin to a Ponzi scheme as recently as March of this year. Pretty wild.
"In a letter to the Finance Ministry and the Reserve Bank of India, Somaiya explained that Bitcoin is a pyramid Ponzi-type scheme. However, Somaiya was criticized for his inability to understand the structural and fundamental difference between a Ponzi scheme and Bitcoin."

Anyway,i hope that this "legalization" makes buying bitcoins in India cheaper than before.
I don`t care that much about Indian exchange platforms.People from India are free to choose any exchange
platform outside India.The indian government can`t do anything to stop btc trading.
i believe he meant to say June. and that makes this news kind of old.
i have to say bitcoin price is mostly because of the high demand in India, it has little to do with its regulations. the high price ($2800-$3000 last time i checked) was on their bitcoin exchanges like zebpay not on some place like localbitcoins!
and as far as platforms outside if India goes, it is nearly impossible for them to deposit money on any of those exchanges, which is another reason for the very high price on their exchanges.

I think u read it wrong. It said "Jun" in the byline. And bitcoin is a growing economy so there may be countries that are accepting btc but there are also countries that is trying to make there own blockchain for there altcoins.
just imagine, if 100 million of them buy $100 worth of BTC each.. thats some crazy mcap addition to the crypto world

I really don't know how they legalize or i-legalize such thing as bitcoin because you are using it with your own internet and computer hardware maybe they just not supporting it before but every citizen of India can use it no matter what happens unless their government issue a criminal liabilities in using bitcoin.
any law regarding bitcoin (legal or illegal) is always about businesses. they can never force individuals to use or not use bitcoin.
so they place laws regarding:
- trading bitcoin in exchanges (exchanges are centralized place, like a business)
- accepting bitcoin (again a physical shop or an online one is known)
if they make it illegal, the exchanges close and the shops stop accepting bitcoin.
and if they make it legal exchanges open or continue and same with shops.
I really don't know how they legalize or i-legalize such thing as bitcoin because you are using it with your own internet and computer hardware maybe they just not supporting it before but every citizen of India can use it no matter what happens unless their government issue a criminal liabilities in using bitcoin.
