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.

so this apps will allow bitcoiners to give tips for the drivers who will served a convenient way for them, but it is not the way of paying the service itself right? let see how this tweets will bring up something for both btc and uber system.

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

Uber folks here in our country are good companions when travelling across the traffic streets and highways of the metros. They usually give me an excellent experience and make me forget the time because of how cheerful and approachable they are to their passengers. Hopefully a few chap has this on their car and I'll gladly tip them and educate them more about bitcoin.

Well it is good news it is. And I really like to see that bitcoin can be use in UBER. Many people are now known uber and many use it as an EVERYDAY transport. And with bitcoin combined with uber, well it is heaven for us who uses bitcoin. We are using internet so that we can call the cab that will takes us to our own destination. And we are using internet in bitcoin right? To access our wallet. And it is like hitting 2 birds using one stone right?

Isn't this just an initiative from the driver himself, I haven't seen this in other UBER cars? Or is it actually UBER who came up with this?
If it's just this driver who set this up, I would expect Uber to integrate Bitcoin payments any time soon.

I think, shortly it will not be possible. But, the idea is great. Maybe not Uber, but some company will open a business with a taxi, which you could pay only by cryptocurrencies. Pros it's of course openness of transaction. Against it's not everyone knows something about cryptocurrencies and blockakchain) But, behind it the future.

Only for tipping? Ah, well it's something atleast. It would had been better if Uber started accepting fares in BTC, but anyways its still a step forward in bitcoin being treated as a currency as its meant to be. Still its a great news nonetheless.

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.

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.

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.

Oh really?? That's a very good news for the users who always uses uber for transportation. Here in the Philippines uber is very popular now because it is very safe and convenient for many people. And i think it is very effective that they let bitcoin on uber. Very nice.
