I have asked. They look at me like I have 2 heads. Or it has such a weird/negative/strange connotation that I only ask if they are on Btcmap and even then many who are on the map don't take it.

Big franchises have zero chance of taking it, they take fiat and the places in the world who do take it are either 1) really really rich or 2) really really poor.

So explain that one to me.
