Following your logic, s/bitcoin/Euro/ would mean that the Euro is not a currency. That's just plain goofiness -- the USD is just the default currency at this establishment.

The logic seems to say more that the owner is not treating it as a currency. You can't really define something as a currency or not based on one person's actions.
