I'm not surprised at all, they seems to be following China's sudden U-turn.

China has never made any turns to be U or not Cheesy

just like India and most other countries they have been doing the same thing, they have not regulated bitcoin fully so at the same time they do and don't accept bitcoin's existence. the only thing happening is the news sites publishing weird articles every now and then exaggerating some statements. for instance the recent nonsense about banning mining was a completed bullshit.

Regarding, 'their plans to ban' — it's just a speculation, until law has been passed for the same, don't bother about it.

People who refer to bitcoin as a Ponzi scheme have no idea what they are talking about. By definition, a Ponzi scheme must have a controlling person or group using the proceeds from new investors to enrich themselves and give older investors the appearance of legitimate returns. This money is then misappropriated by the controlling person or group. Bitcoin, on the other hand, has no centralized party controlling it. It is merely a speculative digital asset with built-in scarcity.

The anonymity of bitcoin mkaes it confusing to most government as they don't understand why a transaction should be this way. Some countries have labelled it outright scam or completely illegal and I keep wondering when they will catch up. Even bank transactions with crypto in its narratives get cancelled, account banned and owner arrested. This too complicated the process.

Actually financial authorities in various worlds have the same concerns, and they generally refer to it as a high-risk and speculative investment. But they're able to compensate very well so that the case isn't as severe as what happened in India. In my opinion, their minds are very narrow, frozen and selfish, so they cannot take the positive benefits brought by bitcoin. By the way, in previous years the Indian government has tried to do this kind of prohibition, have their efforts been delayed or in vain? Honestly, I don't know the progress of their regulations.

Those officials should first educate themselves what bitcoin, altcoin, cryptocurrency, blockchain are.
If they understand the full nature of bitcoin alone, they won't ban this cryptocurrency.
Many individuals are influenced by the people around them, not knowing the basic technology surrounding it.
If they will truly ban the usage of bitcoin, they will be left behind.

Sometimes the hatred for something makes you turn a deaf ear to the good aspect of the whole thing. It looks like people are just refusing to embrace technology that will make life more easier for them. instead, they feel okay to stay with what they have at the moment. Some old lawmakers just refusing to advance in terms of technology and decide to conclude that anything about bitcoin is a scam.

Does it really come as a surprise to anyone though? Not really.

The Indian government has esentially been trying to ban bitcoin for the last 1-2 years without stop. Even though there were calls to review the regulations around bitcoin they were all postponed or dropped to the best of my knowledge.

What they think bitcoin is is quite irrelevant, because it's clear what their intentions are with bitcoin policy at the moment, and obviously they are going to go with something that is negative. Ponzi scheme has been one of the most widespread accusations that bitcoin has faced, and it has been debunked time and time again. It's just a way for them to justify their actions, I'd say.

Indian government should read and understand a definition of a ponzi scheme.
It should rather be called a pyramid scheme because ponzi is only used in the US. The rest of the world doesn't use the example of Charles Ponzi and have their own name for it like MLM scheme or pyramid scheme. Bitcoin is far from it.

I think the financial authorities and the politicians are misleading the Indian government. Let they themselves have a fair independent researchers that won't be bias take a study on the bitcoin and independently submit their report to the government for a better understanding.

It's not something new! Indian policy makers are just too outdated to understand a technology behind bitcoin and it's real life usage! That's the reason why India is still counted as a third world country. However, a court case is still ongoing in Indian Supreme court but the hearing date is continuously getting extended since last few months. I don't think anything good will come out of that but it's just a ray of hope for us! Otherwise bitcoin will be straight away banned by the Reserve Bank of India!

As I understand it, the decision to ban the circulation of cryptocurrency in India has not yet been made. Then it simply should be recognized as unverified rumors. While there is nothing to discuss, because nothing has happened yet. The Supreme Court of this state is still considering the issue of the legality of restrictions on cryptocurrency, which introduced the Reserve Bank of India. During the consideration of this issue, the court ordered the government to provide its vision on the regulation of cryptocurrency. Perhaps it was in connection with this that there was talk about the prohibition of cryptocurrency.

Most people that think bitcoin is a ponzi scheme do not even understand the basic concept on how bitcoin works. This is very sad especially for large country like India with great prospect for bitcoin and other crypto. We all hope the government doesn't consider banning the bitcoin and probably support the use of the digital currency

And that could be the case for most Indian law makers I presumed, I remember in 2017 wherein it was a hot topic on their parliamentary wherein they hire someone to investigate and look at crypto. However, it seems that the people they hire didn't really understand what bitcoin is all about in the first place that's why there are having this sort of hard line stance against it. And they are very old and traditional, they wanted to stick to their fiat as well.

It happens.

India is one of the countries in the world with a lot of traditional belief. (mostly it is in Asia)
With that, lawmakers of this countries are still old and dont want to swallow new things and would rather stay with their tradition. (fiat currencies)
One more thing is they have been used to it and also might give a hard time adopting.

There is a large need for a younger guy in this law firms and inside the government. Someone who did read what crypto currency really is and not just being dragged by all the drama because it is the currency used for a scam.
