What countries (people in government) can do to spur Bitcoin adoption among it's population would be to provide legal clarity and investment with several policies:

  • Guarantee legal rights for transacting with Bitcoin and for sovereign ownership of Bitcoin keys.
  • Provide clear guidelines for businesses and government to accept Bitcoin as a method of payment, for exchanges to operate and financial institutions to work with Bitcoin.
  • Provide tax incentives to utilities and investors to implement Bitcoin mining to secure the grid and to explore previously unprofitable energy resources leveraging mining infrastructure.
  • Invest in startup incubators, provide grants, and create subsidies to develop Bitcoin technologies: layer 2s (e.g. Lightning), FOSS non-custodial wallets, apps, blockchain expertise.
  • Provide tax incentives for transacting with Bitcoin under certain circumstances.
  • Public awareness and education: Teach children the importance of sound money and the technology of Bitcoin.

No. Anything preceeding to the word right is not a right. Is a privilege.

Slavery is a privilege for the slave-owner. But it is not a privilege for the slave.
Should a freed slave consider freedom a "privilege" or a "right"? I'll wait...

Here is an example of a legal right: An employer in America cannot fire you because of the color of your skin or your religion or your gender. People have "legal rights" and other protections.

No, that is not a "right". It's a privilege, a contract rule.
