They will prefer to adopt blockchain technology but I don't know they will interest to adopt cryptocurrency. Such as in my country, there are many start-up who use blockchain as their main system which is mean my government has open mainded into blockchain. But so far, they only accept cryptocurrency as an investment place only and they won't take any action when there is someone who lose a lot of money on it.
Blockchain is an useful technology in my opinion and the government has known it. So, they won't ever have a reason to ban it or prohibit their citizen to use it. I don't know where exactly did you live and why your government still decided to not adoption this technology. But I'll agree if your country still ban cryptocurrency and I think blockchain and cryptocurrency is really different.
Basically, cryptocurrency and the blockchain technology is mostly connected, so whenever in case that a cryptocurrency will be adopted in a particular point, its blockchain technolgoy will be then adopted as well. Another thing here is that, people. if they are interested in a coin or crypto, they will do their research about it, and if so, they will figure out, what the blockchain technology of that crypto is.
