The acceptance of bitcoin payments at the grassroots level is still happening. With the Lightning Network, it's quite viable these days. I've been following https://btcmap.org/map off and on, and new merchants and sites seem to be slowly popping up. Interestingly, there seem to be tourist hotspots in some countries where Bitcoin is more widely accepted. It would be a fun idea to visit these places and try to pay for everything with bitcoin only.
