Have you try this service? If you need a proof then you have to try to make a transaction with some merchant who accept cryptocurrency. An honestly my country is still ban crypto to be use as payment system so I can't use them but I believe the service is still running on several countries who accept crypto to be use as payment system such as Japan and other.

And other thing that you should know, facebook is still have an interest to cryptocurrency. More than that they will create their own coin i.e Libra coin. And when bitcoin price went up from $3200 tp $13.000 a few months back I believe there is a relation to facebook decision's who will create their own crypto. So, my conclusion is there is no gosip that the merchant/companies who accept crypto because I have felt the result.
