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.
What I'm still hoping is that bitcoin would get a large enough distribution before the governments manage to force their population to use their digital fiat. Coz once they do, we all know what other things will follow.
