I think it is a good ideasince Uber is a very high on demand here in our country and many people are using bitcoin there will be no hassle if you want to ride uber and you don't have any cash. You jut need your phone and internet to access your bitcoin wallet and then use it as a fare in uber. I think it is good because it will be less hassle to many people.

Uber India doesn't have any such option. But still I have a few questions regarding this news article. Can payments be made in BTC for the fare, or is it just for the tips to the driver? Also, are they accepting BTC directly, or are they using any third party app like Coinbase?

Well, that is a good news. More and more business are utilizing Bitcoin at its finest. Many are recognizing the usage of Bitcoin and now, Bitcoin is being engaged in the aspect of transportation. This will also serve as a public advertisement since UBER is popular. The people will be introduced to Bitcoin and will somewhat wake their awareness to the existence of Bitcoin. Another win for Bitcoin

Wow! And that is for tipping the Uber drivers? That sounds really a breakthrough idea. In the end, the tip will be more valuable than the fare itself. Grin

I'm really concerned if how the pricing would be if this will be implemented in the future. Bitcoin has no stable price and to think that we will utilize it in this kind of service and this kind of service needs a fix price.

Wow! This is a great idea! Uber and Grab is becoming popular in our country nowadays. It will be more convenient and less hassle if they will accept Bitcoin as payment. Aside from that, it will be a good advertisement for Bitcoin. Many people will be interested to know about it. I hope that this will be implemented someday.

Great news! We all would like to see bitcoin being used on UBER and in various other applications and services. I hope in the future this will become a reality, especially here in Brazil.

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.

I don't think that tipping using Bitcoin can be popular here in the Philippines. Why would I want to waste my Bitcoin just for tipping when in fact we know that it is a little bit of a hassle buying Bitcoin here in the country. Bitcoin is already expensive and to include the add-ons by wallet providers it is already beyond what can be comfortable pricing.

Tipping is good when we felt generous but I will never use my Bitcoin for it. For the simple reason i stated above...though this can help make Bitcoin be more popular and really act more as a currency rather than a tool for speculation.

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

They would have done better allowing bitcoin for fares as well. With the transaction fees being what they are, no-one is going to use bitcoin for tipping.

Bro, I am using Uber for past 6 months but I do not find the option to pay the taxi fare with the bitcoin. Simply they fiat option and debit/credit card option to pay it.
I hope they might testing bitcoin option in their beta version, We expect update site management team.

Here in my country uber now are accepting bitcoin if you use the virtual card that linked into coins.ph where this is our based online bitcoin wallet that we can easily withdrawn our bitcoin via bank that already converted into fiat too. This is the goodnews that they start accept bitcoin as a payment and hopt this might continue into another thing again.

Very happy to hear this,sometimes we have problems with carrying cash.easily we can pay with bitcoin.

Well this a good news and I hope Uber will accept bitcoin as payment. It will bring less hassle to the commuters daily if paying with bitcoin. Atleast for now we see bitcoin as for tipping drivers only, so lets hope they will implement to accept bitcoin soon.

it is a good news for us, bitcoin user, because we can use bitcoin to pay uber services. but uber company should make adjustment for the fee in every country that have their services so people will be satisfying for using services from uber. soon the other company like uber will be following and i am sure that many bitcoin user will use the services.

Really?? That's a great new for many Filipino and especially for the driver of the uber here in the Philippines. Uber is the modern vehicles that the traditional taxi and it is very safe than taxi. But how it will convert into money?? They don't have an idea about bitcoin unless it will spread and tell them by someone who has a knowledge about bitcoin. But for the meantime it is very nice to hear that.

Uber always goes against the rules. It's good that they accept bitcoin, but this can not be done in all countries. Even Uber itself in many countries outside the law. It seems to me that the breakthrough of bitcoin could be an opportunity to purchase items online and in restaurants.
