We can also engage with the government by encouraging fair support regulations and also promote Bitcoins role in financial inclusion.
There is no way the government can be engaged and they would pledge support for decentralization which is the main goal of bitcoin, government would always try to centralize bitcoin and that's the fact. The only help they can render is giving bitcoin a favorable ground in the country and it wouldn't be very easy.
Another point is that we can support local adoption by maybe helping businesses and communities accept Bitcoin and use it for donations and aid in underserved regions. Let's pay attention to this final point. Maybe some countries are still kinda scared that why we need to educate more and ensure security and trust, promoting safe practices, proof of reserves and the customer protection.
This means nothing when the government has not endorsed it in the country, most businesses would love to welcome bitcoin, but in a country that it is not permitted, the fear of prosecution from the government keeps them grounded.
