All autocracies are. You could argue India is a democracy, but it has taken an autocratic stance on Bitcoin. Even in the 'liberal western democracies' which have dominated all other people and global resources for centuries via military and monetary hegemony, Bitcoin MoE use is heavily obstructed. Bitcoin has been slyly captured and controlled by the wests bankers and governments- only allowed to be used conveniently as a kyced taxed speculative commodity that does not threaten to undermine the MoE monopoly of fiat money. Increasingly US bankers and corporates hold custody of Bitcoin and exclude it from any potential use as a MoE.
