I had heard of this on FB. Didn't know that it had come this far. Was more of a casual conversation when it started.

A very nice 'use case' for BTC in India.

Fantastic use case!

Let's hope this is just the start of widespread and unusual BTC adoption in India

Don't like this :
"While bitcoins are not illegal in India, the Reserve Bank of India is “watching and learning about the developments in bitcoin” even though it has no intention of regulating it right now."

Don't like it at all.

LMAO.

RBI can control BTC as much as they can control math, gravity, or thermodynamics. Cool Unless of course they manage to shut down the internet. Or electricity.

The tide has turned. We will be witness to the biggest redistribution of wealth in history.
