payment:bitcoin=yes is a de facto tag for a store that accepts Bitcoin
AT THE POINT OF SALE, like all other payment=* tags. What you do is
redefine its meaning to "it in some way accepts Bitcoin somewhere".
payment:website:bitcoin=yes on its own is fine.
payment:website:bitcoin=only would probably be even better for this purpose.

Except that that combination is not backward compatibile as explained
above. And you don't even solve the problem, that a map displaying
payment:bitcoin=yes might not actually accept it at the point of sale.
