What happened to the anti-bitcoin politician (forgot his name), seems he is very vocal about his stance against bitcoin and went as far as saying is bitcoin is used for Ponzi scheme?

Maybe India's U-turn is another good news for bitcoin users their specially the general public. We all know that their is demonetization in India right now and I don't know when the government will end it, so adopting bitcoin will be a good alternative as a store of value for our Indian enthusiast.
It's truly amazing how bitcoin is changing the financial landscape of a lot of nation globally. And maybe this is another step for bitcoin to be truly recognizes around the world.
