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. Yes, it will be quite a good option for Uber if you wouldn’t like to waste time waiting for confirmation time. If you will like to make things quick, or maybe you’re in a hurry, I don’t think it will be a very good option. |

Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

Uber us found around most of the countries and the same accepting bitcoin as a payment for the service is a support for the growth of bitcoin and other technology. Hope this will serve as a biggest network service render accepting bitcoin paving path for a digital growth in all industry.

well, This will make it easier for uber users.
As opposed to uber drivers will have more advantage especially with the price of bitcoin now that continue to rise, this will give a good impact for them, they can also invest in the bitcoin they earn

Until the time comes that bitcoin transactions can be confirmed as quick as possible, just like debit cards, then that should be an encouragement for Uber drivers to accept bitcoin and other digital currencies, for that matter. But for now, for areas where traffic is a bitch, the high priority transactions might be the best option for tipping. |

Wow this is great!  But how about the transfer fee? Is it took into account? |

I ama ctually very surprised Uber started accepting Bitcoin already. They have been slow to introduce "new" payment ideas... not in this case obviously.
No they don't accept it. It's an optional tipping feature. well, This will make it easier for uber users.
As opposed to uber drivers will have more advantage especially with the price of bitcoin now that continue to rise, this will give a good impact for them, they can also invest in the bitcoin they earn
Not when the coins transferred through the 3rd party are immediately exchanged to usd  . Wow this is great! But how about the transfer fee? Is it took into account? Why should it be taken into account? When you buy something via bank transfer do they charge you the sum less the 40$ fee? Of course nobody cares how much fee you pay. You want to tip, it's all your problem and your money. And the bad news is that the fees are again creeping higher and higher. |

This is good news and exposure for bitcoins and cryptocurrency in general. However, I would never tip in bitcoins, especially for a ride service. What if one day bitcoin rises to levels where your tip alone could of purchased a car? That would really hurt.

Bitcoin and uber can work together because they are like the future of their own field because bitcoin might be the future of financial system while uber is the future of the transportation system. They can work together to give convenient transportation service and also to give them an easier way to pay fees that they get from riding an Uber.

If Uber start accepting Bitcoin as payment then I am sure that many people will start buying it.
Uber is one of the most popular taxi service, It is popular because their fares are not too high they are even sometimes lower then the ordinary cab and also you get uber on your doorstep. I guess that Uber will start accepting Bitcoin as payment.
And yeah no one is going to tip anyone with Bitcoins? Our drive fare 5$ only and what do we have to tip to driver lol.
If they accept as payment then yes we are gonna pay.

Well,this is a very good news since in our country (Philippines) already uses uber as a transportation.I like this stuff so that I could already tip some of my bitcoins to the drivers which has a good behavior.This is very useful on tipping when there is a promo in uber,In that way I can also help them by giving some of my exces bitcoins.

This is a god news. I guess Uber is really trying to take over the regular taxis. Their modus operandi is great( except for the tieves that call themselves as uber drivers) and now with the integration of bitcoin it will take bitcoin to be more recognized, as many people already use Uber in many countries. This will maybe bring more demand to bitcoin and hopefully continue increasing this great coin's value.

You may be right for that, but it all depends on the driver's patience level, to wait for confirmation from the miners to finish, if in a hurry to do a very important purpose you should choose by way of payment other than Bitcoin, because they have the option to pay. |

News like these and other similar ones are really exciting as it contributes in the wider acceptance and recognition of bitcoin. Uber starting to accept bitcoin is really a good news as others in the same industry will follow the suit and it will greatly benefit bitcoin.

All I see in that tweet is a picture of a piece of paper stuck to a window. I can't find any legitimate source that says that Uber accepts bitcoin directly in any way. As always, drivers could accept tips in any currency, but they've recently added the ability to tip directly in the app. No bitcoin, just USD... |
