Thanks for finding the post worth sharing...
As a native of Africa, I still find it vague when I see tier 1 countries rejecting bitcoin and flinging the ideas away.
In my country, bitcoin is never even discussed because they have not even fully comprehended the conventional banking systems.
Sorry to say that, but the old need to understand the potentials buried deep inside blockchain and cryptos at large.
You welcome !
They do because as you said they want to keep the control, and bitcoin would make the loising it !
If in your country they never even discussed about bitcoin it's probably because they feel being under the controle of the banks... and they want/need/should escape it !
