I agree, this is more exposure for Bitcoin. Can't complain about it for that reason. The far majority of the people don't know about this, which is why Cointelegraph and other news outlets can pull this off.

I use a subsidiary of Takeaway to order food almost on a weekly basis and pay for it in Bitcoin. Not sure when they started accepting it, but I started using them back in early 2018, so at least 1.5 years now.

Cool thing is that payments in Bitcoin are accepted instantly as long as you use a sufficient fee. I know people here don't like seeing merchants accept zero fee transactions, but you'll like it when you are on the sending-end.
