This Digital Ambassador seems to have a role of only soothing relations with tech companies.

Sounds more like a gimmick to me.

Denmark may be Bitcoin-friendly now, but once their digital reserve currency {e-Krone} has been finalized, they will switch to being

the moment, so they will be aggressive towards Bitcoin in the future.
