Bitcoin on Uber

[Wingo]

In my experience with uber, there is lesser hassle compared to the usual taxi. A nicer idea if I can use bitcoin for the payment. With the great reputation of uber in the Philippines and the growing usage of bitcoin for easier transaction, a thumbs up for this. I hope they would allow it sooner

There's no problem now that I want to ride Uber but I have to confirm it first if Uber here in my country is accepting bitcoin. As I have an older friend who's a driver with Uber for sure he is very much interested to try it out with me. Another way to make the demand of bitcoin higher, great news!

interesting, hope more and more merchants will use bitcoin, then bitcoin will go $100,000.

Thats good to know that bitcoin is being used by major industries too.
If merchants like this keeps enrolling into bitcoin services then bitcoin will have more and more value sooner. So today it is at 4000 USD, if more merchant like this keep coming then that would be more than double. Very interesting services by UBER. All the best bitcoiners, hope we get it in every corner of the world. Best way to promote the bitcoin.

wow its that a good news great thats the prof bitcoin continues the popularization as the online currency.

That’s a good news. But I am not sure is it expensive than normal payment. Because it takes the bitcoin transaction fee?  Anyway, that’s a progressive news of bitcoin technology. I hope the day is not far we can hear bitcoins are popular to use in glossary or supermarkets.

Is this only available for tipping services and not for payment of the fare for the trip? I think it would be more Uber integrated Bitcoin in their payment system and allowed bitcoin users to easily pay for the trips with the use of BTC.

I personally love the service of Uber because they provide security and convenience to consumers who don't own cars, like me. Unlike with regular taxis, it may be availed at any time and at your specific location, and is available for groups of people. They really make it a point to cater to customer satisfaction, and they continuously strive to improve their services for the consumers. It's innovations like this that make their customers choose Uber and become loyal to them.

More power to Uber! I hope they continue to provide good service.

It would be that much better if you were able to pay for the entire journey using bitcoin, unless you are going to be tipping more than a $1 the fees will just eat you up, nice move anyway.

That is really amazing thing to know that someone somewhere is trying to push the bitcoin very hard. This implementation will lead to use of bitcoin on the mass scale. Just imagine how popular bitcoin will become when every user will pay in the tips with bitcoin. Plus if someone doesn’t know about it then Uber might just make them aware of it and users then can find out more abut it. Nice steps by Uber. If brands like this kept implementing bitcoin services then that will make healthy bitcoin in the future. I have also read on the forum that Burger King has started accepting bitcoin in the Russian area. Thats really major change in all.

Great news! I'm dreaming to see Bitcoin as payment option for Uber as well

I agree it will not be a surprise if btc will be accepted as fare in Uber. Drivers will not only have income from the fares but also an investment as well. Though for now it's just for a tip I think they deserve some since they offer convenience to people. It's the convenience we are paying them for afterall.

This seems not yet available in my country, but I'm glad to hear uber has received bitcoin, it's a favorite app that I use often. And I hope they can get a lot of benefits for receiving bitcoins.

[Remainder]

This is good news! more developer now is eager to developed new apps in order us to use bitcoin easily in every transaction we made like in Uber! If it is fully developed and running, I think we are safe if we ride uber taxi without bringing real paper money for fee.

[danherbias07]

If it just for tipping, ordinary people who dont know about bitcoin wont care about it.
Why would they waste their time to get bitcoin just for the tip. They would rather use their cards for that or maybe just fiat.
It is just a waste of time. It doesnt matter for many Uber customers.

I'm pretty sure that this isn't actually implemented by Uber themselves, but rather by the driver who put up this sign by himself, but still. It shows that bitcoin is really widening its reach in the community. It's not just limited to a bunch of people sitting behind their laptops anymore, it's everywhere and easily seen and accepted.

I still remember back in 2013 the price of bitcoin was pretty high(for back then, of course), but people didn't have any real uses other than using bitcoin online to buy goods(sometimes questionable goods too).

But now, everything has changed. Bitcoin has got a complete ecosystem surrounding it, but we still need more merchants to accept it.

It's great news, that you are able to tip someone for their work with bitcoin.

But tipping is tipping, and is only a part of the etiquette of certain countries. Plus, Uber isn't behind this. Some Uber driver who has some sort of experience in bitcoin came up with this idea, and is taking advantage of bitcoin's instant transactions to receive tips.

It would be nice if Uber supported bitcoin to pay fares. I'm sure that drivers will support this, since paypal is reversible and drivers can indeed be charged back if the customer decides to use a hacked PayPal account or just chargeback for no reason even if the service was of high quality.

Whether the uber itself is the one behind this or a particular uber driver, the thing is the free advertisement which would raise awareness to people considering that a lot prefer uber than regular transportation system. If we use the analogy of an ad-campaign, this type of advertisement will get a lot of impressions.

This is a good alternative transaction if a transport system such as uber is able to receive payments using bitcoin, if this is true will be applied by uber transport payments, then bitcoin will gradually become more popular among the public.

Very supportive of every country will follow this alternative, very easy to use. Hopefully it is not applied only in strong countries like Japan America and other European countries. One day everybody uses to trade, do vacations and more. Trust in Bitcoin will increase. I am sure that bitcoin will be around the world.

Uber took a very good decision because this company not only existing in one country. In most of the country, we will see uber cabs. I also use this cab regularly, but here we don't have this facility. I think they implement one by one country. And yes this great move from uber to reach bitcoins to more people.

[sumangs]

It is a good alternate payment but there is a transaction fee when sending bitcoins. But since people who book taxis are those who have extra money so it is not a problem for using bitcoin as payment. Just an alternative method of paying but if you are paying exact fiat money its should be the main method of paying. The idea is good just like using credit card for paying. It is not bad to implement this idea in paying. Also, it is convenient to rich people.

I think bitcoin usage in paying for fares and tips for Uber drive is a good option for the travelers but unfortunately it can only happen in few developed countries and lots of under-developed countries cant still use Bitcoin not for the reason of ignorance of bitcoin by people by the technology and other things.
