How would Bitcoin work for a sanctioned authoritarian regime like north Korea? Who would they trade it with for useful currency or goods? It's not like they can just create a Coinbase account and cash in the Bitcoin for USD.

Perhaps not, but they can sell their crypto reserves to other actors who are in a position to exchange them, for stuff that's actually useful to them.
