Yes, but the same investors and everyone else has got this chance of buying whatever they sold - because BTC, ETH - is still very low.
People were already expecting that the finance minister might not bring this bill in this session because there's way too many, and more important bills, waiting for their queue. Someone even asked the minister if this bill might get a chance to show up at all and the minister replied that they are very serious about this bill and it will come this time.
Whatever their intentions, it was quite certain from the start that they simply do not have enough time to get this bill questioned when more priority bills are waiting in queue.
I think it is a mix of everything. The current third wave situation, then the UP election and the last marriage age bill for girls above all the ruckus created by the opposition made thing much worse. I am sort of happy that the bill did not get passed yet but eventually it will and if it doesn't favour the community then things will again become more uncertain.
Under these pandemic circumstances if the government and other political parties are united in having UP election within the scheduled time then imagine how important election is and all bills are passed considering the benefit one political party will get. They will try to defer it as long as they can because they would not try to angry this big Indian crypto community. But, there is another ideological wing of the present government that wants either a complete ban or a strict regulation. Things are pretty much shady at the moment, we will need to wait for the next parliament session to see what happens
