I think it would be great to see local shops accepting bitcoin for their services and products. I have not found a shop locally so far but it looks like the world is changing and in some time, there will be more shops accepting bitcoin for payments.
Yes, because there might be a lot of bitcoin users on their place since the gas station already started accepting it but on what place do you live? I think there is a map which seeks if what places accepts btc, I just forgot its name but it was shared on this forum before but you can try searching a keyword like "btc map" on google and see if it shows something.
We cant compare our place to others that already accept btc because we don't know maybe btc on our country is not yet legalized or it might be legalized as an asset use only but not as a currency and that is the reason why people don't publish a
BTC sign on their store but you can still ask them privately.
