Looks like is India is going full circle and trying to ban Bitcoin  again after the supreme court over ruled the previous ruling by central bank of india in March.

They also seem to be taking the blockchain good bitcoin bad argument. Some governments just don't know when to stop.

Im guessing they will be another battle in the supreme court which will carry on for another 2-3 years ridiculous.

A country so resolute like this in the ban of an emerging technology even after the Supreme Court invalidate their earlier action could as well channel their energy into endeavors that would better influence the life of their citizens and uplift their purchasing power thereby increasing their GDP and other economic indices. That being said, I think there is still need to understand the Indians way of life and the threat that they see in bitcoin for them to be hell bent on banning it rather than focusing on ways to ensure that its fully utilised and controlled to the best of its ability.
