Yes, CoinDesk don't allow us to pay with Bitcoin for their new service.
I don't think they must pay with Bitcoin for their employees but they must accept Bitcoin as payment method.
I think they should be boycotted until they accept bitcoin. Paying your employees in bitcoin should at least be an option but not accepting them as payment for ads or whatever is ridiculous. Clearly they don't really care about bitcoin other than the money they can make off it.
Hi - just to address some of these points.
The self-serve ad platform does accept bitcoin -
https://ads.coindesk.com/ 
As does Tinypass, which we use to sell
Research.
I'm working with the partner to get BTC payments on the
deals store as soon as possible. Launching without support is disappointing in the short term, yes, but our input will enable more stores to be able to accept it once integration is complete. The goal was to launch with these payments, but a change in provider has delayed development their end.
If sales go through the roof it will make an excellent case study for bitcoin payments, won't it?
