"Suddenly, Bitcoin to Be Officially Legal in India"

Bitcoin exchanges in India have been able to operate but they have been self-regulating using strict Know Your Customer and Anti Money Laundering measures (https://veratad.com/solutions/identity-verification/) in place. These areas will now fall under government regulation.

Funny side note--a member of the parliament in India likened Bitcoin to a Ponzi scheme as recently as March of this year. Pretty wild.
"In a letter to the Finance Ministry and the Reserve Bank of India, Somaiya explained that Bitcoin is a pyramid Ponzi-type scheme. However, Somaiya was criticized for his inability to understand the structural and fundamental difference between a Ponzi scheme and Bitcoin."




How can this article be posted on "Jule 20,2017"?Today is July 15.You should change this OP.


I think u read it wrong. It said "Jun" in the byline. And bitcoin is a growing economy so there may be countries that are accepting btc but there are also countries that is trying to make there own blockchain for there altcoins.
