That just means that you won't be able to use bitcoin to pay directly on stores. While that's not good, I don't think it's like super bad either. As for now we're mostly stuck with selling bitcoin for fiat or using bitcoin debit cards(which should be allowed because you're not directly paying with bitcoin/crypto) in most countries anyway, so for now this isn't that much of a big deal.
This is also the way how I understood the news regarding the "legalization" of cryptos in russia. If this is what is really meant, then this won't be unlikely of other countrie wherein it is neutral in a way that people are free to invest into cryptos but local stores and services do not acknowledge it as a mode of payment unless the company says so. This is not a bad thing indeed, but is a good start. Chances are, eventually, adaptation will be observed wherein more companies will acknowledge cryptos as a digital currency.
We cannot also blame those governments who are atill not fully giving their trusts in this industry because that is their policy and tbey are having studied basis which is morelikely in accordance with avoiding the risk for people. Cryptos are having inconsistent market price which gives risk from investing into it. Using it as a mode of payment depends on the private companies, in countries wherein it is "neutral".
