It is nice to hear that the progress of bitcoin adoption in india is going in full force and the exchanges are getting heavy traffic of new users but until government dont give any clarification on bitcoin it cannot flourish more.

In developing countries like India, only 41% have banks with 89% in developed countries. Most people in developing countries will never experience modern modern forms developed by developed countries, and any change to this requires a gradual change to ensure efficient distribution. But with Bitcoin, people in developing countries now have the opportunity to pass through the current infrastructure, and move toward a decentralized financial system.

India is regarded as the perfect place for Bitcoin adoption because of the public attitudes towards their current financial system. The new info here is currently undergoing an aggressive period of demetization, in which residents change their banknotes to banks, so they can be expelled from the money supply.

Demonetization in India this country is experiencing an increase in demand for Bitcoin because it believes more new systems that are far from the control of government and banks, that is with a digital system.

Even on July 2, 2015, Indian President Narendra Modi announced his digital reform plan called Digital India. This campaign is available to create internet services in Indonesia, improve digital infrastructure in Indonesia, and increase internet connectivity in the country. The main goal of Digital India as well as to empower technology in India to help Bitcoin's positive view at government level.

In the past few months, many have speculated that India will legitimize Bitcoin like Japan. The rise of Bitcoin growth in India has not escaped the attention of the government, especially the Indian finance minister, Arun Jaitley. According to local reports, Jaitley has held inter-ministerial meetings to discuss matters related to digital currency. The meeting was attended by several prominent figures from the Indian parliament. After the meeting, Jaitley made a statement that highlights an in-depth report on Bitcoin, which will be released this July and will explain Bitcoin's vision.

India Won’t Introduce a Central Bank Digital Currency for Now. India will prove to be a very interesting country when it comes to regulating cryptocurrency. Recently, there has been talk of issuing a national digital currency, but it seems that may not happen in the end. This doesn’t clarify the current regulatory outlook for Bitcoin and altcoins all that much, though. For now, it does not appear we will see the creation of Lakshmi anytime soon, although those plans have not been put on ice indefinitely either. https://themerkle.com/india-will-not-receive-a-central-bank-digital-currency-for-the-time-being/

Open question:

Why has Bitcoin so far gotten zero traction in India?

Some thoughts...
---
- India has more programmers/computer people than the rest of the world combined.
- People in India love tangible assets (gold/silver)
- The Rupee is crashing and the gold price has just hit an all time high in Rupees.
- > 108 people in India have no bank account or otherwise access to financial services.
- Millions of Indians live outside India and send money to/from relatives in India.
- Unlike China, India has no "great firewall".

---

Last week, many Bitcoiners got very excited that the turnover on the Chinese Bitcoin exchange spiked for a few days. Why? Because there are a lot of potential Bitcoiners in China, of course.
But India does not even have a Bitcoin exchange of its own! Why not?


India is a very large country, however, the level of development in this country is not uniform, some places are extremely rich, but in contrast, some places are very poor, people can not even access to the internet, that's why bitcoin does not grow here.

Not sure what you mean by this. India is predicted to grow to a larger population than China in the coming future. Furthermore, China I'd say is a lot more closed of to external forces (especially western ideals and strategies) as they have been in the entire past. India definitely has a lot to do in terms of becoming a much more well developed country, but I don't believe that India is very far off from China.

bitcon in indea is so much popular. i personally know so many people from india who are doing trading in bitcoin.i also know such kind of people who are investing their money in bitcoin. so many indians are also earning form signature campaign.

That's true many Indians are aware about bitcoin and they are successfully earning from it but the fact is only youth is aware about it and it will take time to reach to each and everyone.

There are so many Indian using bitcoin and there are some website to spend bitcoin in India, bu they are mostly underground.

I know Indian Government is not bothered about bitcoin as of now. But if they start bothering, a crackdown will be arranged by SEBI.

So it is wise to hide your ass from the beginning.

What are u talking about? Gambling is one of the biggest industry where bitcoin finds its adoption.


They gamble trading on the exchanges. There are no Chinese Bitcoin gambling sites. No doubt Chinese folks go to foreign gambling sites.
Morelike what has gambling to do with Bitcoin adoption in any country ? Not like majority of people like to double their money playing risky games.Also its not a fact ,people who loved to gamble ,gamble either way ,with bitcoins or without bitcoins,bitcoins just made a easy way out.

That is much appreciated but it is not as easy as it seems.Bitcoin in India will take a lot of time to bloom compared to other Asian countries.Assuming we have good tech savvy crowd here,we have fair chances though.

I think it's a reasonable metric. I assume you can't mine without a full node and you'd be a bit insane to run an exchange without one.
Not true. Miners do not need to run full node. Only pool operator does. And there is no pool in India. Many big exchanges run on BitGo or BlockCypher API. So, for exchanges also full node is not a requirement. In fact, right now there are 2 real time exchanges, 1 shop, 1 app and 1 block explorer in India. But, as u can see, there are 4 nodes only. Even if someone runs a full node for business, he'll most likely put it up on VPS instead of running it from office/home.

Neither the UK or China have much real adoption. China has zero utility other than exchange gambling and mining. The UK has hardly any businesses accepting and no proper exchange.
What are u talking about? Gambling is one of the biggest industry where bitcoin finds its adoption.

So let's look at a country which does have a hint of real adoption such as the Netherlands. There are 329 nodes there.
In India, bitcoin finds big adoption among online freelancers.

Just watch me, baby. I'm sure a country that has a space program and is one of the largest buyers of consumer gold should be showing a hint of interest in Bitcoin.
What does any of it has to do with bitcoin? India has good scientists and rich people ,buying gold is part of the tradition and so is getting a college degree. Government has taken initiatives to make the space program happen.Btw if you ask an average Indian ,the name of India's space organisation(ISRO) I bet they can't answer.Why ? People barely care about stuff that doesn't matter directly to them.Its in their blood.

Let's assume 25 million have a standard of living that a Westerner would start to recognise. That's still more than the population of the Netherlands.
That's correct but don't think westerners cause a massive impact on people's POV.Fact is,the tech savvy,geeks and IT folks will use bitcoins but other than that its very hard to convince people to do something different.They don't want to be called out of their comfort zones.

your ideology of running full nodes in ratio to the population should be keeping to yourself.You can't compare Bulgaria to India for 100 other reasons you haven't mentioned.
