It technically is related.
Because while the more libertarian/anarchist people would be more likely to use cryptocurrency legal or not, but the entire rest of the world would refuse to even look into it until the government tells them to do so.
I believe that the crypto space these days is more split between Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, and Monero when it comes to using crypto as currency, since Bitcoin is slow and expensive, and on top of that is entirely transparent (the last one is the same for Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin).
If you go on the deep web, nobody accepts Bitcoin anymore because of its transparency.
Everyone wants Monero instead.
But then again, the same people who believe that you can't use crypto until the government tells you it's OK to use it are those who don't even dare to touch the deep web and really believe it's only illegal criminal shit on there anyway.
This is why I had to point out the whole legal aspect to it, since at least 90% of each country wouldn't use Bitcoin or any other crypto in general if it's not considered legal, even though crypto doesn't require to be legal in order to be used.
