Pre-covid we had a bar that accepted BTC using Lightning Network :(

A bar willing to accept BTC is not "using it as a currency". Some people get paid in BTC too. Or Tesla accepted BTC for a while. They're just investing in BTC automatically. It's not being used as a currency until the same entities are both buying and selling with BTC.

And that assumes they aren't using one of those services that accepts BTC and automatically converts it to USD at the time of the sale.
