It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

It sounds strange but may be they are considering First Bitcoin ATM in India or just to get some hype .

It comes under the 'Monday Morning Trivia' category.
So it would be wrong to read too much into this tweet.

Interesting titbits of information that they periodically provide.

If you look at other tweets in this category.
Wall Street, home of the New York Stock Exchange was named after a wall built by the Dutch colonists in 1653.
You can find an ATM in Antarctica!
Did you know? One of the first digital wallets or e-wallets was introduced way back in 1997!


All this might be useful for quizzing enthusiasts, but does not indicate Axis Bank's business plans.  Smiley

Just basic information shared to enhance readers knowledge on some particular subject , in this case that particular subject is Bitcoin ATM.
 But I don't think any bank would like to indulge as long as RBI doesn't clear its ambiguous stand on btc. Which I think is first piece of information every bitcoin supporter in India wants to know , if they provide any guidelines then we can think about the ecosystem developing in India.

With too much of enthusiasm, AXIS bank got spooked and has deleted the tweet. Probably they're now fearing an ED raide. Grin

I wish, the guy in charge of this twitter account, does not lose his job !!! Undecided

I think somebody just got excited a bit and thought it would be a good idea to get some attention.

I doubt any ATM is possible now. The rules are still murky, and the pace at things move here I am not expecting anything anytime soon.

They posted it as a morning trivia, which had nothing to do with establishing Bitcoin ATM in India. But, given the undue attention they gained from that tweet, they got spooked and deleted... SIMPLE !!! Cheesy

Maybe it was just about ATM itself, not much about their interest in getting into Bitcoins or allowing them in their world. I think all Tweets about bitcoin it self can be related only to the nature of Tweets - beeing heard somewhere in the world with a specific point, marketing.

Or there is clarity about the classification of Bitcoin.
Think about it - you don't need a green signal from RBI for operating a cola vending machine.  Smiley

The jury is out on bitcoin classification.
Is it a currency? Is it property? Or is it just a collectible?
The government would need to clarify this. The rest would then follow.

Cola is not available at ATMs. ATMs must follow RBI norms as it deals with bank accounts which comes under the govt norms. Cola vending machines are free to accept Bitcoin against Cola. Then the problem goes to the Cola company to reflect it in books.

Its not about scam per se but lack of control and decentralization that comes with BTC , which is not acceptable to powerful governments.
