Who plays bigger role in crypto adoption: General public or government ?

[Alpha Marine]

Between the government and the general public, I believe the government plays a bigger role in crypto adoption.
If the governments of the world were receptive to Bitcoin, I believe its adoption would have grown exponentially compared to what it is today.
In many countries today, we see governments making laws that are not so friendly to crypto users. This alone can discourage a lot of people from using crypto. People do not want to use a technology that would make the government see them as criminals.

If government organizations accepted crypto, even though they don't make it legal tender, but allow people to use it freely and accept it as a medium of payment if they wanted to, more people would use it, but in many countries, people don't disclose it openly that they use crypto because they'll look like criminals to the government.
