As you can see a majority of the countries in this list are considered as the first world country. They have a progressive mentality and that is directly reflecting in their GDP or financial prowess. Now look at the second list.
There are different "directions" taken by the governments.
The normal ones have recognized and somehow regulated crypto. Some found the opportunity to earn some more money/taxes for their county, some others preferred to encourage the businesses accept crypto.
Then there are the countries with problems. Most of them are so busy with the corruption and other similar issues they didn't even get to understand what's going on with this bitcoin thing.
Then there are the countries afraid of the change, countries looking what others do and possibly copying that, but with great delays.
My country is in the corruption group. Depending how you are interpreting the law, you have to pay certain taxes or not for Bitcoin trading. But everything is so complicated (to favor corruption) almost nobody cares, since whatever you do, it'll be wrong and you'll have to bribe the ones coming to check you up. And the government is busy weakening the anti-corruption laws, not with going forward, handle Bitcoin and so on.
