Just imagine when every passenger give 10k sats tip to the driver. He can easily make a 1 btc in a year and if he's lucky someone who is a generous passenger might give him a BTC.01 tip or more than that. Bitcoin is really everywhere so I hope every ride can give you the option to pay in btc.

That's a good news since Uber in the Philippines is very popular. Actually it is more popular than the traditional taxi. If they are going to accept bitcoin, much better. But the transaction fee plus the rate of meter, isn't that a bit expensive? Anyway, this is a good help for bitcoin because this will promote bitcoin more. And hopefully bitcoin will be a part of people for their everyday lives. Good job Uber.

The fares are still paid in fiat or card. Bitcoin is just for tipping and it's optional, at least for now.

Its just for a tip? It would be a waste if drivers aren't that serious about bitcoin, those btc will just end up as burned BTCs. Was the tip for the drivers or to the app itself? If uber will handle it all including the tips then I guess those btcs goes to uber's wallet.

Interesting, but i guess a big corporation like uber doesn't have the guts to accept crypto for the actual fares yet.

I think they are testing the waters and see if there is a business for them there, if they see there is a positive answer then they may implement bitcoin fully and you will be able to pay for your rides with bitcoin, that would be great news to me since I use uber a lot.

i think they can satisfied with the result as we know that bitcoin user now is become bigger and strong and bitcoin price itself is increase higher than last month. beside that, their services is in transportation which is using by many people in many country so if they are using bitcoin, we can use our bitcoin to pay their service and we can directly make transaction when we are finished using their services. but we need to thinking about the time of transaction because this will be give impact between uber and bitcoin user itself.

That's a great news for many people especially in the Philippines because uber was used by the Filipinos and this are very popular. If they are now accepting bitcoin, it is much better. But my question is, how does the rate and transaction will go?? Isn't a bit expensive? But it is a great news.

If you heard on the news that uber and grab was stop their operation due to they do not have franchise to transport i think it would take more years to happen here in our country. but i think in the other country which uber is legally operated thats good if they will accepts bitcoin since their operations is thru online.

I think i heard somewhere that their licenses got renewed already i just can search it fast in google. Always shows how to apply as a driver xD. But thats what I know

If tipping in BTC goes well for Uber, I can possibly see they implementing it as a payment method for next year.

This really shows the importance of BTC and how it has been increasing over the years and its contribution to society.

If this will happen more and more people will joining in bitcoins community and the price of bitcoins will be more expensive than ever 10.000$ per bitcoin next year whoa this is so exciting bitcoins is the best of all best.

Totally agreed sir.

If BTC reaches $5k this year I am totally sure it will reach that value next year. Let's hope for the best.

This huge great wave of adoption will just bring great things to not just digital, but daily commerce too - as seen on Uber.

I ama ctually very surprised Uber started accepting Bitcoin already. They have been slow to introduce "new" payment ideas... not in this case obviously.

No they don't accept it. It's an optional tipping feature.

Quote from: mostkey on August 15, 2017, 01:30:26 AM

well, This will make it easier for uber users.
As opposed to uber drivers will have more advantage especially with the price of bitcoin now that continue to rise, this will give a good impact for them, they can also invest in the bitcoin they earn

Not when the coins transferred through the 3rd party are immediately exchanged to usd Wink

Quote from: ranman09 on August 15, 2017, 02:50:18 AM

Wow this is great! Cheesy

But how about the transfer fee? Is it took into account?

Why should it be taken into account? When you buy something via bank transfer do they charge you the sum less the 40$ fee?
Of course nobody cares how much fee you pay. You want to tip, it's all your problem and your money.

And the bad news is that the fees are again creeping higher and higher.

Thats what im onto, bitcoin tipping is the first stage then comes paying with it.. they should took it into account as bitcoin fee will sire risen again well maybe,

It looks more like it is the driver's initiative to put his bitcoin address in there for tipping. But still a good exposure for bitcoin. I hope more drivers follow his idea.

For me it is a great news, uber accepting bitcoins as a payment can be tge first step for bitcoins popularity in the main stream. I'm excited to be one of the passengers of that, it will be pretty convinient to us because sometimes we do not have a cash but only bitcoins because we do not withdraw all of oir profits everyday. So being bitcoin as a payment tool is kinda cool.

Uber has many follower already its great for bitcoin if uber utilized the power of blockchain and adapted bitcoin as one of their payment option. Bitcoin is universal currency too, its convenient.

It's a good thing. Bitcoin owners can now conveniently pay without using credit cards or debit cards. Cool

I've ever heard about it before but not sure if they (re)use this payment method recently.
More business should support bitcoin payment, so people can easily spend their bitcoin and it will spread widely instead of just stay in wallet forever. What left is; scale solution to be implemented in order to minimize bitcoin transactions fees and maximize transaction speed to be confirmed. And that's the way to get more business and adopters to join in this "the best monetary system" instead of just treat it as an investment which cause a lot of fluctuations.

If that is true then it is a good thing ,but i could not see that in the app and in their website ,there was a rumor long back in 2015 and they reject that was not the case,i really would like to see these companies accept bitcoin which will be huge for bitcoin.
