WHY BITCOIN WILL THRIVE IN COUNTRY LIKE INDIA?

Hi guys, today I will tell anout my country "INDIA" 's revolution if bitcoin is regulated.

At present INDIA has largest population in the world around 1.3 billion(2015) . So it is a huge market place for any buisness to thrive.So what are the driving forces for Bitcoin to thrive in India.Here are the following points.

1. At present around 235 million people doesn't have bank account, so that means more people will tend towards Digital currency.
2. Due to demonetization (a government’s move that got rid of 86% currency notes in circulation) and under Prime Minister’s Jan-dhan Yojna (an initiative to open bank accounts for every Indian household), a lot of people have managed to get their bank accounts, but that number is far from 200 million mark.  
3. India has one of the largest remittance markets in the world with a total value of close to $70 billion. On every transaction, an average user pays up to 15% in bank charges and conversion fees.

The digital currency can be used to move money inexpensively across borders within a matter of minutes without ever having a bank account. It’s important to note that lately bitcoin adoption is taking over its network capacity, leading to delay in transactions and very high fees

India’s take on bitcoin

On November 8, prime minister of India announced demonetization of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 rupee notes (86% of country’s currency notes in circulation). This move was not only to curb black money problems in the country, but also to push people to go digital and use online wallets instead of cash.

After demonetization India saw a rise in bitcoin demand like never before. For the first time premium on Indian exchanges crossed $300, leading to many arbitrage opportunities.

Hundreds of articles started pouring in claiming that the bitcoin price rally was fueled by demonetization, but Sandeep Goenka, founder of Zebpay, India’s largest bitcoin exchange, had later argued that there was no such link. He said, “This is because India has a negligible share in the bitcoin industry. For the international bitcoin community, demonetisation was yawn , a non-event”.

In India bitcoin is far from mainstream. The daily volumes of local bitcoin exchanges are negligible as compared to exchanges in China and the US.

That being said, after demonetization, interest in bitcoin has definitely gone up. More people want to know about bitcoin. Young generation particular is getting attracted towards the cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin has the potential to thrive in developing countries, but not if transaction fees are higher than the living wages. The whole point of having bitcoin in the first place is to transfer money quickly from one address to another with bare minimum fees.

If bitcoin manages to scale, keeping its core principles intact, there is nothing that can stop it from prospering in the developing world and beyond.
