It's ironic that the No. 1 nation on the list accepted Bitcoin as a legal tender, while in the second Bitcoin is not accepted by the government and actually is banned in bank transactions. This goes to show that the while government acceptance helps to make citizens more receptive of Bitcoin, the citizens can choose to adopt it regardless.
I'd expect people that are being suppressed to have even more interest in escaping that. Its been proven multiple times in the past, and I believe it was Edward Bernays' biggest message overall which he basically said not to limit the people outright, but instead give them a choice while pumping out propaganda to influence them.

Outright banning Bitcoin isn't effective it would be much better to do it like the West does; allow it, regulate it, but pump out stories which might not exactly have any truth to them. For example, we've seen it recently where there's basically been a barrage of news stories on how energy inefficient Bitcoin is, and how it's the leading contributor, which is absolutely nonsense, but I have seen it in the titles of a few poor news sources.

Before clicking on this thread, I was expecting countries from Africa to rank pretty highly not only because its banned in some of those areas, but for me Bitcoin is the best opportunity to escape corruption, as well as the rat race of earning pennies, while in the long run those earnings being mitigated by rising inflation.
