It is great to see India adopting Bitcoin as a recognised medium of exchange. This will help a lot of businesses working with companies and independent contractors exchange funds for work. I have been working with someone in India for 15 years and have paid probably $1,000 in wire fees over that time. About 4 years ago I suggested bitcoin as a medium of payment, and he wasn't comfortable because the Government rules of foreign payments. I'm sure if he could go back in time he might have changed his mind but going forward now I am bring it up with a bit more confidence.

Also Canada is now dipping their toe into the blockchain space. I can only hope this trend in new forms of money and exchange continues. Here is a link to the articel. http://www.coindesk.com/bank-canada-demos-blockchain-based-digital-dollar/
