Individual payments in crypto doesn't mean much on a global scale. You will always find someone willing to take crypto. Even for something big as a boat.
What governments are doing is much more important than what a single individual is doing.
What is your country? Weren't the floating piers in Greece?
Do not underestimate these little pieces of individual Bitcoin use, small or big, they leave behind a mark and set a precedent. Remember pizza day? If some guy never bought 2 pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoins, several times, maybe it would have taken longer for people to attach value to Bitcoin. It is still remembered today as the first real transaction involving Bitcoin. Maybe one day people will remember that boat purchase in the small country when everyone is using it.
What goverments are doing is one aspect, but Bitcoin survives and thrived before any government knew about it, not because of policy but because individuals used it.
As the proverb goes 'a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step' we cannot ask for people to begin to use bitcoin if we do not practice what we preach, so if you can, always suggest a person to pay them with bitcoin, most will not accept but you could be lucky and find someone that is interested to accept bitcoin as a payment option but did not brought the topic.
