Despite all this, I consider it a smart attempt by the government of Indonesia to monopolize the sector for itself, as it does with any other central service. This will ensure more transparency for users and greater guarantees that their savings are safe.

Despite everything, I still think that Indonesia is logistically unable to control efficiently in this field. Therefore, it is not surprising that the launch has been postponed many times. Other countries, more technologically advanced than Indonesia, did not risk such an experiment.
You see, that's the problem with monopolies at the state level.
If they would just compete with CEX then that would ensure the users would get to choose, and the government itself would need to keep up with others in order to not fall behind, once there is no such thing they can just take their time, provide crappy services, spend money like there is no tomorrow on useless stuff and in the end the population foots the bill.
Of course, the good parts still stand but them acting like an overlord in the entire crypto arena won't lead to any breakthrough.
