Ok, let's try another way. Who do u think made bitcoin as legal currency in el salvador. Did i hear the government?
This is important but we are likely look at degree of importance differently. Countries with high adoption rate are rich countries. Plus Russia or Ukraine where people use bitcoin as emergency money. Without any permission.

Yes, it totally varies based on the situation. This original post was about a western country with law abiding citizens (slaves) and no war.
So, in this regard, without the gov stamp, it is like paddling upstream.

Yes, but that means nothing. Read again the definition of legal tender.
A gov declaring Bitcoin as legal tender is like making a law saying "birds are allowed to fly"... total meaningless.
