Bitcoin can actually make Uber convenient for payment in Uber and in other transportation facilities.

Of course. with it more transactions occur. I think that's one of the good developments for bitcoin, because so far we know that a lot of people love UBER.

Wow this is a great news for uber users and for uber drivers. Here in the philippines most commuters uses uber as there daily commute vehicle because there is no toxic in the roads and mostly they are comfortable than a taxi. This maybe a great idea so that other people know bitcoin and what is bitcoin I mean this is another stepping stone for the philippines to introduce bitcoin in the city.

As far as i know Uber in the Philippines has stopped its service because of some sanctions made by government but well talking about Uber recieving on bitcoin payments then this thing would really be an advantage on those commuters who have known about bitcoin because this thing would really be a big convenience to them theres no need on cash on paying up the fare.

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

this is a good idea, but for uber providers and managers, this will be very inconvenient and troublesome, because the bitcoin prices are so volatile that it is difficult to determine the uber drag for the passengers

not necessarily, there are multiple services out there that will accept a bitcoin payment on behalf of the merchant, and immediately convert that amount into whatever fiat currency they use in exchange for a small fee. not exactly sure what it was, but i do recall seeing that somewhere here some time back. dont take my word for it, but i think coinbase offers something similar for bitcoin accepting merchants as well (i only remember reading a mention of it somewhere, i might be totally wrong).
that aside, bitcoin integration on such payments can be an incredible convenience for both the customer and the uber driver; if we can assume that the transactions for these are irreversible, then there's a guarantee that the driver will receive their payment. there's no hassle of counting out change, zero worries about a credit card charge being declined, etc. it provides security for them. on the other side, all the customer might have to do is scan the QR code with their smartphone (assuming their smartphone bitcoin wallet is capable of this, it should be anyways) and pay in a matter of seconds.

that's good news, because Uber in the Philippines is soaring. Actually this is more soaring than traditional taxis. If they want to accept bitcoin, much better. But transaction costs plus meter tariff, is not that a bit expensive? However, this is a good help for bitcoin as this will promote more bitcoin. And hopefully the activities will be part of the human for their daily life. Good work Uber.

this will be fantastic for everyone i believe, even with the volatility of btc you are only paying current price

[mammoniter]

it is a good news because uber is supposedly a transportation service that has millions of users every day which means that if this company integrates bitcoin to their payment service  even though just for tipping then its more likely that they are on the testing stage in considering bitcoin as a regular payment method.

Glad to see the uber service that receives bitcoin, I'm a uber user and hope bitcoin is immediately applied in the uber service in my city. of course this will make it easy for us all to use the service uber.

Hope this will serve  as a biggest network service render accepting bitcoin paving path for a digital growth in all industry.
News like these and other similar ones are really exciting as it contributes in the wider acceptance and recognition of bitcoin.

This is a big step. Sooner or later they will use bitcoin not only for tipping, but for it's main fare. But fees should be lessened. Right now I am paying 3 dollars for every trasactions that i made. Which is not very conventional for every small time bitcoin players like me.

what you can pay taxi use gold ? , bitcoin like gold, so it will not be done as payment, let alone to pay taxi, Bitcoin is gold ..

Its a good news for me. It can help to promote bitcoins more. In my country taxi look more expensive as compare to Uber. But what about the transaction fee ?. You're paying Uber Fee plus transaction fee.  Isn't its become expensive ?. and how you deal with the confirmation time as I dont think uber driver or the passenger can wait 15 to 30 mins for transaction to be confirmed.

Yes, fees are probably a big issue yet. To make it work you would need to pay an expensive fee to complete the transaction in few minutes, otherwise the Uber driver could reject your Bitcoin paying method, there are sites which can help you to find what is the most adviced fee to pay on the respective moment. Debit cards are still better for this in my opinion (BTC debit cards or fiat debit cards).

Bitcoin being into Uber makes it more popular, as it is one among the most popular cab service that is available around the world countries. There are corporates who are with plans of making their own token for their needs and circulate around the world countries.

Its really welcoming to see abitcoin being into Uber. Its a good sign for bitcoin users that bitcoin is being accpeted inch by inch globally by everyone. This is the growth of BTC. I am a Uber user, happy to say that i am attached so closely with things that are attached closely with Bitcoin.

I don't think it will affect that much because if the client wants to tip the driver then he can tip it via cash or other e-cash methods like paytm it's in India atm and doesn't know if similar to it exist in other countries if not then bitcoin is a good option.

It was a very funny news but then it will be really helpful for the community for those who know how to earn bitcoins. They should also spread the news on how to earn bitcoins through the community.

[taxmanmt5]

Why would this be good news, on the other hand why would it be bad news? It is simply news Bitcoin integration into society is not going to be made through Uber. Also it shouldn't make any difference to us one way or another about the integration of Bitcoin into anything. We are making thousands of dollars every day based on investments through cryptocurrency who cares whether a & online taxi cab companies accepting Bitcoin?
