Adoption Under the Radar

There are probably tons of restaurants near you that accept bitcoin cash and you just don't know it.

I saw this post on Member and wondered how Austin had so many btc/bch accepting merchants. I noticed a bunch of them use a service called Menufy which allows the merchant the option to accept btc/bch payments via Bitpay. Then I realized that there are actually a ton of bch accepting merchants near me too! I would assume it's only for online orders, but still pretty cool.

I'd recommend going to the menufy site with the 2 letter abbreviation of your state (example: menufy.com/CA for California) and checking out what restaurants near you accept it. Just choose a restaurant near you and click the vertical ellipsis to reveal whether they have the bitcoin icon like this:

I had always assumed there were no bitcoin accepting merchants near me since https://map.bitcoin.com never shows anything, but it looks like that page could potentially be updated to include hundreds of new merchants across the country!

Use the Where2cash app. It lists the places that use Menufy.

That does look a lot better, but it's definitely still missing a bunch. It still shows no restaurants in my area for example.
