There is a huge premium to buy sats here. >5% in kyc exchanges. 10-15% P2P it is mostly because of capital control laws by the govt. official usd-inr exchange rate is 83inr/usd. however usdt trades at 92inr/usdt.

People in general(no-coiners) view it like any other place. crazy made up internet money used by black marketers and hackers. Plenty of shitcoiners too. Most have btc/shitcoins bought in exchange and keep it there in the hope of an exit. However I've observed a drastic increase in bitcoiners over the years who 'get it'.

Most people here are statists. But thanks to the internet, there does exist a ground up antistate culture only likely to grow over time.
