Indeed however Bitcoin is positioned as a way of fighting back against these administrations. However it helps literally nobody in North Korea because they just shut down their internet.
I think Bitcoin does help people in North Korea though. Just not the average citizen.

No citizen of North Korea whose not a party member gets to use Bitcoin. The only people who do are using it to finance the hermit kingdom's nuclear weapons program. That's not a good thing.
