Very hard to say.

We know the regime has been targeting and stealing Bitcoin and other digital assets from South Korean companies and banks and exchanges for 5+ years.

So we know that there are dozens of officials in the government who understand how this stuff works. That information spreads like a mind virus.

My sense is that in the next few years Bitcoin will become more used in the border region with China and then it will start to make a big impact inside the country, but not before then...
