I gave my opinion on the bitcoin payment for the Uber service
At this reply I would like to say that instead of being able to pay by bitcoin, we can use a separate currency, not Bitcoin, but based on the Blockchain or ETH platform to help us advance to the epoch. Money numbers hoas all areas of life

Should we start a petition to these people?

Imagine the possibility! I think Lyft will respond faster!

I do not think we can pay Uber by bitcoin feasible
As the price of uber is quite cheap, even the shorter amount of money to pay is very low or when there are promotions.
Secondly, it is about high BitCoin charges. I'm afraid the bitcoin transaction fee is much larger than the actual transaction fee
Third, the bitcoin trading speed is quite long,
Paying cash or bank cards is still more feasible than bitcoin at the moment

I would strongly agree with this ,, because when Uber & Lyft to accept Bitcoin payment ,. this will make it easier for us to use the services of uber and lyft ,, it would be possible if we become one user who always8 use bitcoin payment,. in addition to the practical payment we also do not need to exchange our bitcoin to fiat currency to pay for services Uber & Lyft...

there is no Uber in my country but doesn't Uber already accept bitcoin, i remember reading something about it some time ago!

in any case if you can find enough people that actually want this, then why not. make a petition or just directly contact them and show your interest. they may do it if they see enough demand for it.

They were thinking about letting users tip with Bitcoin if I remember correctly. They don't currently accept it as payment. It's a step towards the right direction at least.

But yeah, starting a petition might be the best way to grab their attention. How many signatures do you think we may need to make a splash?

I think uber only allows to tip the drivers with bitcoins, they don't take payment yet. it would be really nice if they start taking payments in bitcoin and or altcoins, sooner or later they will start accepting cryptocurrency payments it's inevitable! Wink

Last I heard Uber already is accepting Bitcoin for tipping, but I did not know they are planning to accept it for regular payments. That is very cool.  Cool

It is a good thing to have a successful petition, the petition will be an added support for the new CEO of Uber for easily adoption of bitcoin as a payment. Uber will now know that they already have a client willing to support the bitcoin payment.

I think it's better to wait until segwit is up before implementing or trying to make petition as the network is slow right now. The fee also hindered this kind of adoption as i don't want to pay $1 fee for 5 dollar transaction.

Here in my country which is Philippines, we are using Coins.ph BTC wallet and one of its features is Virtual Credit Card. We can instantly and easily convert bitcoin funds to the virtual credit card and use them in paying Uber or Grab fee. It also offer unique voucher codes to use for discount in uber and grab

This is a good idea as it is an alternative way to pay your trips. However, we should consider if the driver is into Bitcoins. A lot of people are not interested to Bitcoin which includes some drivers. If the purpose is to just transact digitally, then it would be just the same as paying in debit card or credit card because it is already synced in the device of the rider.

The solutiom for me is to accept Bitcoin payments.if the driver agrees so. If not, then payment should be done in the currency being used in the country.

It is a good idea because almost all of developing country has an uber services. It will make bitcoin more popular and more people will use it. The demand will increase and the price will go higher.

The problem is the processing time for bitcoin is too slow and unreliable, it's not like ordering online where you can wait for the bitcoin transaction to be processed prior to shipping the product. The speed time is really what's delaying the wide adoption of bitcoin but this would be pretty awesome if lyft/uber did this.

You are right as the time involved in the transaction can be a big hindrance for the full adoption of Bitcoin for these networks of transportation. However, am sure that in the near future there would be an infrastructure that can handle this problem. I really expect that there would be a good development along this line because the market is really big and can be a lucrative one once adopted by many organizations and business. We should note that Bitcoin is still relatively young and it is still evolving. The news on Amazon is actually fake but we do expect that they will soon accept Bitcoin as it be a big push for the King of Cryptos.
