A president does not need to be a dictator to make a difference. A president can implement laws or pull some strings to make crypto more welcomed in their country and that would be enough. No need for him to dictate his citizens. Just make bitcoin more accessible in the country.

One person should never make decisions that affect the entire nation, that's why there are powers for the president, prime minister, and government - to balance the power they have. Didn't Bukele declare BTC to be a legal tender and thereby force sellers to accept it? In the end, he received a red card from his citizens and the IMF.
Bitcoin was created to function without approval, politics and central banks - and today some people are looking for all this in the context of Bitcoin, paradoxical, isn't it?
