Re: Currency Demonetisation and Future course of Indian Economy

2 days delay should be fair enough for a free transfer. Instantaneous transfer could be a premium service and banks could charge a fee for it. If Rs 100/- is changed accounts 50 times, actual value of that money at the end will be very small (say middle man charges 2% commission per transaction). If...

Re: Currency Demonetisation and Future course of Indian Economy

Government should provide a mechanism for consumers and merchants to transfer money between two bank accounts, without paying any fee. The demonetization is forced upon the people for a good cause, but that should not cause people to pay someone else for doing what they had been doing for free.

Another big risk with bitcoin is that every transaction is logged, either with IP address or with bitcoin exchange used. If a government really want to crack down they can easily track down the individuals who did the transaction.

With the election of Trump, western block has split. Even though US bears big share of IMF/WB budget, Trump will no longer be interested in that. That will cause IMF and gang to push hard for IMF SDR as new reserve currency and kick out useless USD.
