Not sure if it's enough to draw a conclusion on this "Bitcoin’s Impact on Financial Freedom in Authoritarian Countries" topic. Since Indonesia is one of the countries covered in this study (for example), we can see here that Financial Freedom measures a lot of things, and most aren't crypto related:
Quote
To assess the overall level of financial freedom that ensures easy and effective access to financing opportunities for people and businesses in a country’s economy, the Index takes account of five broad areas:
The extent of government regulation of financial services,
The degree of state intervention in banks and other financial firms through direct and indirect ownership,
Government influence on the allocation of credit,
The extent of financial and capital market development, and
Openness to foreign competition.
But perhaps the study can explain more of "financial inclusion," a more limited indicator of financial freedom, or other specific indicators.
