Seems bitcoin is even hastening the transition to cashless.
Yep, which doesn't help Bitcoin. It only means these Countries are increasing their oversight and control over their own currency. None of this improves adoption for Bitcoin until people realize that currency owned by government is part of the problem that Bitcoin solves.
It's just a way to move the society to a cashless one, and the only similarity to bitcoin is the digital form of the 'money' (and the basics of the technology too, it should be a kind of blockchain, but not a decentralized type). Maybe, on the long run, when people get accustomed to a digital money (like they get accustomed to bank cards instead of cash), they will trust bitcoin more, and it can help bitcoin to get widespread.
