What do you people think about the future of bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies in India under the current government policies?
Under the current government policies? It's obvious that they are quite anti-bitcoin, even though it's not a flat out ban from the government right now.
However, we don't know what's necessarily going to happen in the future in India regarding bitcoin. Obviously, we would like to see as bitcoin enthusiasts for the RBI restrictions on Indian banks regarding dealing with bitcoins to be lifted, however, that's not guaranteed to happen nor is it likely to happen in my view.
I remember that the government of India was looking at a high tax on bitcoin, but at least it would be legalized. Since they are indeed talking about this as an option, we can't rule out that possibility. However, excessive taxing hardly "helps" bitcoin in India or businesses to grow. Honestly, all governments should be trying to attract bitcoin related businesses into their countries right now using this opportunity, instead of trying to repel them.
