Topic: End of road for Cryptocurrencies in INDIA? - page 2. (Read 284 times)
Three months to go and even after that if RBI sticks with its current stance, would it be the end of road for cryptocurrencies in India? No. Either exchanges will come with some alternative solutions or traders will move to P2P markets. A good number of Indians have invested into crytos and then there are also traders who have quit their jobs to trade in crypto. If these traders don't have the option to buy/sell Bitcoin through legal means, obviously they would find loopholes.

The government will be the loser here - losing indirect tax revenue as well as a ready source of information on possible tax evaders.
Paranoid governments consider that to be collateral damage, which applies to China as well. What they care about is that the mass will be exluded from entering this market, and it definitely leaves a dent or two.However, the people already aware of crypto won't back off just because their government thinks it can dictate every aspect of their life. Those who felt the freedom of crypto will do everything to keep it.
China has been able to stop a lot of sites and services they deem to be a potential threat, but that doesn't work with crypto. You can't stop something that can't be stopped, so even attempting it is futile.
That is true. With exchanges gone, the masses will not take the pains to find peer to peer traders. They will just stop trading.
The RBI hasn't banned Bitcoin. It cannot do so; the move has to come from the government.

Unexpected step back. Really sad news.
Cutting banking services to exchanges is in effect shutting them down. I am not sure if individuals are still allowed to transfer funds to international exchanges (if it doesn't violate other guidelines). If the exchanges are shut down, bitcoin trading will just move over to P2P sites and will take place informally. The government will be the loser here - losing indirect tax revenue as well as a ready source of information on possible tax evaders.
For India I hear they banned bitcoin now, investors worried some population in India will reduce to invest in bitcoin.
I hope in the future the condition is back to normal and in India can accept bitcoin again. I still sure bitcoin will grow again in some country.

No you are wrong,Bitcoin is not banned in India.The news was about that Reserve Bank of India (RBI),give a circular to the people that stop dealing with the crypto currencies if there is any scams or something happened the banks won't involve in that.But Indian government didn't release any statement regarding this issue so people in India are still free to use bitcoin.And I asked my friends too still they are doing trading as always,no problem yet.

I think India had been planning to ban cryptocurrency last year, and it I think this will somehow affect the crypto market because there are a lot of crypto enthusiasts in India. Government is starting to regulate cryptocurrency investments because of it's volatility and risk. So, expect more and more countries will start regulating it.
But it doen't means that India banned the crypto currenies,they just said the people who uses vitual currencies are be cautious and RBI never involves if there is any scams or whatever.
So it doesn't mean bitcoin is not banned yet right?

One more bad news for the industry
It is frustrating, people don't understand why countries are banning crypto while crypto equals future!

This is an another set back for bitcoin and their country . India is one of the biggest market of ICOs and crypto currency . That is such a shame that Indian government is taking such step amid knowing all the possibilities and potentials it has to remove the problems of poverty , unemployment etc in their country . I seriously do not understand why the perspectives of people and governments are not changing for good.

No, I don't thinks so. Looks like it's a temporary movement, later they will consider crypto to be a great solution cause the rest of the world does so
I understand you don't like the news, but how can you believe this ban is temporary? Are you so naive to believe that the government cares about your well-being? Lol. This will happen all over the world. We had plenty of time to organize an Autonomous bitcoin economy, but we enjoyed rising prices. Now we're paying for our carelessness.

So what happens to the users in India, the exchanges will be shutting their doors just like China in three months time, that is not a good news either for bitcoin because two countries with the two biggest population have put some regulations so that people who are interested are not able to trade in crypto currency, which i think is against a democracy like India.
This is a sad news, why so much negative things happenening on this great technology? Well I still hope that India will revised their decision within three months. India is a huge market, now we can see more dumping price of bitcoin and also other coins.
