Uber & Lyft to accept Bitcoin

[Shreek]

I do not think we should act swiftly to petition, but we slowly pass it on to them. because this takes a long process. after we gradually submit the petition, we just wait for the time to answer it.

Lyft is still hanging in there? I amr eally surprised ocnsidering how dominant Uber is in the field. Lyft is only trying to stop them from becoming an absolute monopoly.

That might be the present scenario, but the interest shown by those giant business people will surely take the bitcoin grow much high. In specific it'll increase the trust among the people who don't have a belief upon bitcoin at present. Maybe following them more corporates will directly enter the bitcoin acceptance into their business.

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.

Yes,the huge time taken for confirmation would be a big issue.But if it gets accepted,definitely it would help bring bitcoin into the mainstream of daily usage.It would make it more popular and would make critics mouth shut who just blame that bitcoin could not be used as a currency.

Mainstream adoption of crypto is a good thing but the architecture of the Bitcoin itself is not fit for purpose. Would be better to use something with faster transactions but companies will just jump on the bandwagon

Should we start a petition to these people?

Imagine the possibility! I think Lyft will respond faster!

It is good if receiving and sending bitcoin is instant. There is a possibility but it might take a long way before they do. Bitcoin will become more popular and will be on a great demand by then.

It would be good to pay uber with BTC like Neteller and others good providers does.

After the announcement of future markets open to BTC, more and more industry leaders want to be involved to take off with the ecosystem. Just like AI/VR as hot keywords not long ago. Everybody wants to be a part of it.
