Check: BTCpay server, LNbits (PoS extension), merchant app like SwissBitcoinPay and the Boltcard standard.
All of this exist and is happening today, maybe not near you but in Lugano Switzerland a lot of merchant accept Bitcoin Lightning (thus their system is not comptabile with contactless boltcards. Also in El Salvador, in some places, you can use Bitcoin. Their are many communities, check the map on btcmap.org and try paying at a merchant or get a boltcard and test yourself with breez or another compatible app.

Unfortunately, I live in a place where most people do not know what Bitcoin is, and the "educated" say it is a scam/not real money. Despite many bank closures & insane inflation recently haha.

Thank you for the information, since Bitcoin Lightning implementation is spreading to smaller places, I can only hope that by the remainder of the decade, we integrate LN- BTC here.

LN- BTC

Please stop saying that, is wrong. Only shitcoienrs use that term, trying to give the impression that there's a different bitcoin than BTC. There's ONLY ONE Bitcoin.

Bitcoin over LN (Lightning Network) is just bitcoin, nothing else.
Bitcoin onchain = the vault, the long term holding, your bank
Bitcoin on LN = the payment network, your spending pockets, your daily spending.
