Iām gonna take your word for it.
What countries (people in government) can do to spur Bitcoin adoption among it's population would be to provide legal clarity and investment with several policies:
- Guarantee legal rights for transacting with Bitcoin and for sovereign ownership of Bitcoin keys.
- Provide clear guidelines for businesses and government to accept Bitcoin as a method of payment, for exchanges to operate and financial institutions to work with Bitcoin.
- Provide tax incentives to utilities and investors to implement Bitcoin mining to secure the grid and to explore previously unprofitable energy resources leveraging mining infrastructure.
- Invest in startup incubators, provide grants, and create subsidies to develop Bitcoin technologies: layer 2s (e.g. Lightning), FOSS non-custodial wallets, apps, blockchain expertise.
- Provide tax incentives for transacting with Bitcoin under certain circumstances.
- Public awareness and education: Teach children the importance of sound money and the technology of Bitcoin.

LOL can you explain the term "legal rights" ? WTF is that?
wow statism is at high levels nowadays...
reply
There are other forms of "legal rights": Constitutional Rights, Civil Rights, Property Rights, Contractual Rights, Human Rights. These are enforceable by the law of the land.
reply
No. Anything preceeding to the word right is not a right. Is a privilege.
reply
Slavery is a privilege for the slave-owner. But it is not a privilege for the slave.
Should a freed slave consider freedom a "privilege" or a "right"? I'll wait...
reply
You are confused.
A right is not assigned or need somebody else to "give" it to you.
You born with it and in some cases you give it away with your consent.
Nobody can give you the right for x. You have it.
Freedom is not right nor privilege.
reply
Privilege is given by others. We are born with rights. I think we agree on this.
Slavery has been with humanity as long as there have been humans. It is very much still with us. And for the enslaved, this God given birth-right has been taken away. How do you tell the enslaved that they alone are responsible for their captivity or their freedom?
You still have not answered the question:
Should a freed slave consider freedom a "privilege" or a "right"?
The question is rhetorical. We both know that Freedom is a right, not a privilege. But who shall free slaves? This is where the State can and should assist. To protect these rights. Which is the essence of my point.
reply
The state will never protect your rights. It will only take your rights.
Only you can protect your rights.
Sad that nowadays people see in the state the only way to live free... when is exactly the opposite. The state is the one that make you a slave, with your consent.
Here is an example of a legal right: An employer in America cannot fire you because of the color of your skin or your religion or your gender. People have "legal rights" and other protections.
reply
No, that is not a "right". It's a privilege, a contract rule.
