It totally depends on the government of a country whether they want to allow crypto use in their country or not. If they are willing to allow its uses there will be no restriction even if it will be used as a payment method.
There will be a time soon when those countries will accept crypto too who have not understood its positive features yet. In some countries crypto uses are not for the welfare of the individuals therefore others countries are not allowing it to be used in their countries as important features are still hidden for them.
We have seen prime examples of the benefits of crypto on a national scale: El Salvador has adopted a BTC strategy, attracting investment capital, tourism inflows, and profiting from buying and self-mining BTC using geothermal energy. Other countries are also collecting taxes from crypto, generating additional revenue to develop their countries. Other govs can also refer to, learn from, and apply these experiences to themselves.
In the near future, if Trump becomes US president, I believe that crypto will become a mainstream market in the US and then globally. Anti-crypto governments will not be able to continue deceiving the public about the nature of crypto, they will face pressure for innovation from their citizens, and will be forced to change if they do not want to be replaced and lose power.
