  As of now, there are no known command economies that have fully embraced cryptocurrencies. Command economies typically have centralized control over their financial systems, and cryptocurrencies, with their decentralized nature, may not align with the principles of command economies. However, some command economies, like China, have shown interest in exploring the potential of blockchain technology, which underlies cryptocurrencies.

  No, command economies generally have strict control over their financial systems and may view cryptocurrencies as a threat to their centralized control. Embracing cryptocurrencies would require a significant shift in their economic policies and ideologies.

  While most command economies have not fully embraced cryptocurrencies, there are ongoing discussions and experiments in some countries. For example, BYDFi, a digital currency exchange, has been working with command economies to explore the integration of cryptocurrencies into their financial systems. This collaboration aims to leverage the benefits of cryptocurrencies while ensuring compliance with the command economy's regulations and policies.
