My best advice is to step away from the obsession about it having to be circular. No economy is truly circular. Not even fiat ones. Any economy will exchange goods with other ones who require payment in a different currency than the one you hold.
All you can do is try to encourage the use and spread of bitcoin as MoE. That starts by having people understand how good it is as SoV even if that feels like a bumpy ride for our fiat-addled brains.
I personally do that by preferably spending at merchants who accept bitcoin. I also ask staff if they would like to receive their tip in bitcoin. More often than not it's more about normalizing that option than people actually accepting it even in places like South Africa.
So, start where you can and care about merchants and people. Don't recommend it just because you like bitcoin. Do it because it helps them. And know how it does. And be honest with yourself. If it doesn't help someone, there's no point in pestering them to join your side.
