Uber's had trouble with regulation in many countries and states. Bitcoin can help them operate better in these areas. If people convert fiat to bitcoin for spending, it's just them using it as a currency and not investing. I love this use case, it's an example of why bitcoin is so promising and such a good investment in the first place!

Bitcoins are great to invest and trade. Why would anyone spend their bitcoins on Uber?

Because it's supposed to be money, dude, not a nut you squirrel away.

The solution is to immediately buy the amount of BTC you spent, secure in the knowledge that the BTC ecosystem is strengthened every time you do it.

Only problem is that creates additional theoretical tax overhead (supposed to report the acquisition even if you only owe on sell to fiat).. at least best it was explained me, I keep getting different answers from different CPAs.
LOL, of course!

That is definitely a good news, but I hope that every driver already knows about Bitcoin itself.

Bitcoin for rideshare is imminent. It WILL happen. As an Uber driver myself, I am thrilled about it.

This is how I do it as well. The shift card Visa debit works great but may not be available in your state. This is a good solution until uber starts to accept bitcoin directly.

Uber and Bitcoin are among the most groundbreaking technologies currently on the market. Uber, part of the so-called sharing economy, has created jobs and helped people arrive at their destination safely.

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.

Do you think Uber in philippines can easily adopt with this new changes? Im sure it will take time to implement it or worst it will not implement in our country. I also hope that there will be no very high difference in converting fees from btc to php.

Great news! Uber drivers would be forced to get a bitcoin wallet. Thus, promoting the cryptocurrency in the transport sector. Drivers can’t complain they got paid by an unknown to them currency because it’s just a tip.

I think the idea is good. Its important to start circulating bitcoin amongst a wider rage of people around the world to promote the investment of the currency. This will also distribute wealth better over the world

That's true that in the Philippines its popular to ride in Uber. Especially during rush hour its fast no hazard. Its a great news to the people in the Philippines if they accept bitcoin, because most of people already earn and invest in bitcoin, and this can be a good opportunity and good chance. It cant difficult when to pay for the Uber because there is an internet connection. Its good idea of Uber and it will be success. We hoping that bitcoin has become more popular through it.

A passenger that will give a tip to uber driver using bitcoin is very generous tbh, I think there will only few people will do these as spending bitcoin for such things will be a waste of income  Cheesy

If the uber compaby will accept bitcoins as a mode of payment fir me that would be a great idea. Because it is less hassle for us to pay for the fare to the uber drivers.

...maybe I'll start driving for Uber.  No, can't.  My car is too old because I put all my extra money in Bitcoin.  If I sell 3 bitcoin and buy a car, do you think I can recoup that 3 bitcoin in tips?

Tips on bitcoin recieved by the drivers of uber may give them a chance to hold a single bitcoin for their future investment. Uber drivers are now lucky because they will recieve bitcoin in tip from their passengers. It's a good move by uber.

Tipping in bitcoins is really a very smart decision taken by Uber. That way driver don't have to fear of Bitcoin's high or low price as it is a tip.
