My goverment forbid bitcoin usage because it can be use for money laundry ( advantage for terorism activity )
So it has small chance for my goverment for bitcoin usage as the result bitcoin popularity can't grow like EU zone
I think only a few politicians in a country know about bitcoin, I think even though they knew about bitcoin, they certainly will not take the risk to launder millions of dollars in bitcoin because it is very risky
Right now Bitcoin is being targeted by an extensive negative propaganda campaign against it. The mainstream media is doing its best to paint the bitcoin as a currency, which is widely used for extortion and the purchase of contraband. If some politician backs Bitcoin, then his opponents will accuse him of indirectly supporting various criminal activities. And that will end his political career.
