there is no Uber in my country but doesn't Uber already accept bitcoin, i remember reading something about it some time ago!
in any case if you can find enough people that actually want this, then why not. make a petition or just directly contact them and show your interest. they may do it if they see enough demand for it.
They were thinking about letting users tip with Bitcoin if I remember correctly. They don't currently accept it as payment. It's a step towards the right direction at least. But yeah, starting a petition might be the best way to grab their attention. How many signatures do you think we may need to make a splash?

Should we start a petition to these people?
Imagine the possibility! I think Lyft will respond faster!
I would strongly agree with this ,, because when Uber & Lyft to accept Bitcoin payment ,. this will make it easier for us to use the services of uber and lyft ,, it would be possible if we become one user who always8 use bitcoin payment,. in addition to the practical payment we also do not need to exchange our bitcoin to fiat currency to pay for services Uber & Lyft...

I'm shocked that they already don't! I 100% agree, they should accept, its so easy its unreal and they are all in the "new" generation of innovation.

I do not think we can pay Uber by bitcoin feasible As the price of uber is quite cheap, even the shorter amount of money to pay is very low or when there are promotions. Secondly, it is about high BitCoin charges. I'm afraid the bitcoin transaction fee is much larger than the actual transaction fee Third, the bitcoin trading speed is quite long, Paying cash or bank cards is still more feasible than bitcoin at the moment

I gave my opinion on the bitcoin payment for the Uber service At this reply I would like to say that instead of being able to pay by bitcoin, we can use a separate currency, not Bitcoin, but based on the Blockchain or ETH platform to help us advance to the epoch. Money numbers hoas all areas of life

Nice idea! It would be very convenient for us if they'll just gonna accept BTC as a mode of payment for our rides in their service. I'm a regular Uber rider here in our place and this would save me some penny if I'm gonna use BTC. It is quite possible because they are using smartphone as their main device to navigate the streets and we all know that there are some notable BTC app integrated in smartphones nowadays. Uber drivers could have some learning curve regarding BTC but that is always accompanied when new tech is being introduced to other people. Hopefully, they'll gonna consider this one.

How many signatures do you think we may need to make a splash? it is hard to say, because it depends on them. some people are more flexible towards bitcoin and doing stuff like this than others. so one CEO may require a lot of push where another may only need a nudge. it also depends on how many customer they have. i'd say in comparison the signatures have to be a good percentage of their customers.

I think the best strategy would be to approach one - maybe you are correct about Lyft. If Lyft made an announcement about accepting BTC, then Uber I am certain would not want to be left flat-footed and would also join the party. Cool idea, When are you going to approach them?

Uber will definitely start accepting bitcoins, to my mind. It could be really convenient for many Uber users, especially for tourists, I think, and I suppose such company will do its best to keep up with the clients. The main question is when they're going to do this, I think, it will happen gradually. Some countries will have to wait anyway, because there are still problems with paying for taxi by credit card, I'm not sure we are ready to speak about crypto currency in this situation.

That's very good news!
The more companies start accepting and integrating bitcoin to there system the more popular it will become.
What is good news? The thread is about making a petition for Uber and Lyft to accept bitcoins. None of them is accepting BTC right now and none is currently planing. Are we starting another amazon fake story? Last I heard Uber already is accepting Bitcoin for tipping, but I did not know they are planning to accept it for regular payments. That is very cool. It'a a tip app that was integrated by some uber drivers. They made it more like a pr stunt. If they do choose to work with btc they would have to make some sort of wallets mimicking a prepaid card where your funds are locked when you order a cab. It's a bit complicated and it will have to take into account the exchange rate, a lot of security, and a lot of legal papers as uber will hold some of your funds just like paypal is doing.

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.
really what do you say? I am a bit confused with what the OP said, maybe this will be good for my understanding and knowledge.

Everyone wants to earn more and if these those companies wants to be progressive and to get huge profit from their services they must accept bitcoin as payment, this will bring more good days for the bitcoin user as well as the UBER, this is one of the best ideas and if it will be implemented people will use their bitcoins in good way.

This is going to be great. I've already expected this to happen before. With the popularity of bitcoin, there's no doubt that big companies and businesses will accept it in exchange of their services. I've heard that Uber has already started accepting bitcoin as payment for their service. It is not really something new at all since we are using money in paying products and services, but the convenience that bitcoin brings to people is what makes life of people easier.

Uber is the first to accept Bitcoin. Lyft only copied them because they are the competition.

Uber and Lyft accepting Bitcoin would be a really good thing for them to do but I'm not sure how many people are spending their bitcoins these days as so many people are HODLing right now.

Heard of Uber, but never heard of Lyft.
I don't know. You'd have to be able to solve the confirmation time problem. You don't want to be sitting in someone's car waiting forever. You know how long it takes sometimes to get that first confirmation.
Honestly, I'd rather pay for a ride with cash. It's more anonymous and way faster than bitcoin. So no, I wouldn't bother with a useless online petition. Leave it be.
