^^^ Then they better move their HQ to some country with liberal financial laws, such as St Kitts or the Cayman Islands. Bulgaria is a part of the EU, and the authorities will have to abide by the EU anti-money laundering laws. Sooner or later, there is going to be problems.

In case of btc-e , that might be indeed better for them. They are already a bit shady.

But for Bitstamp I doubt there would be any real problems.
They are already exaggerating with their paper requirements.

This of course, with the current laws.

Slovenia has only 45 billions and Bulgaria 51 in GDP , but if those two make the same movements as the PBoC made in China you can expect double digits bitcoin price.

Is it that hard for the exchanges to shift their HQ? BTC-E made the shift from Kiev to Bulgaria last year, and nothing happened. Bitstamp can also relocate to some non-EU nation, if the need arises.

They moved with no problems because it was a planned moved , they didn't get kicked out of the country with their funds and ban accounts frozen.

If those two countries do this , it will mean there is no safe spot in the eu for any bitcoin exchange.

The FUD wave will drive the price to double digits in less than 1 hour because in this situation both bitstamp and btc-e would be frozen.

Who is going to support the price?

I though they already banned bitcoin trading/Exchanging already before. Anyway This should be a good move for bitcoins since India is a large market and should have good potentials.

Didn't some people from India already move into the Bitcoin Era? You know, with the local languages and stuff? Better not be any Pariahs! (Just joking. Think it's actually stupid, ya know.)

I do not think India matters much at this stage anyway.
They will adopt soon enough.

Agreed. India is not as important as China to the Bitcoin sector. The GDP is only around 1.8 trillion, which is around one-fifth of that of China. Also, computer literacy and awareness is quite low. It will take a lot of time for the Indians to get familiar with Bitcoins.

This is completly wrong statement. There is no ban on Bitcoins in India. Please don't spread wrong statements over here.Till now there is no official statement  either govt agencies or RBI.

Here Iam providing the last statement in upper house of parliament in India. Please read this

RBI issued an advisory but nothing close to a ban

As I said that was the last statement. Then after there is no new statement either from govt agencies or RBI. How can you conclude Bitcoin has banned in India.

Indian Bitcoin market is too small as of now. If it is potential, then RBI stand may come across.

As per the current scenario "BITCOIN is legal but not yet regulated".

None of the directives issued by P Chidambaram are valid now. He is no longer the finance minister of India and his party was routed in the parliament elections. Good riddance, I'd say. This lowlife issued orders to raid the first Indian Bitcoin exchange.

I do not think India banned Bitcoin. Think it was like the regular China bans Bitcoin stories.

India has banned banks from dealing with Bitcoin businesses. That is similar to China. And I have already posted here that the current governor of the Reserve Bank of India is hostile to Bitcoins (Raghuram Rajan).

Welcome to Bitcoin India, I knew there were some people using it a year or two ago since there was an exchange thread here on the forums but this seems like the appropriate time for an introduction Smiley.

Its a good read and also a nice way to design a webpage

It's like reading a newspaper in design and Indians are contrarians sounds like a nice statement as well, I hope to see increasing worldwide adoption and India is one of the places in the world that needs more bitcoin nodes as  well so I hope that the adoption keeps rising and people keep rising to the challenge of starting new companies in that countries developing industry.

To Bitcoin

I think Bitcoin will blossom in some of the third world countries. It's use might even overtake the western worlds eventually.
