Uber CEO says it will accept Bitcoin for payment

Uber Technologies Inc. will one day join the likes of Microsoft Corp. by accepting Bitcoin as a payment option on its app.

Dara Khosrowshahi, the chief executive officer, said Uber will accept cryptocurrencies “at some point” in the future.

Uber will accept cryptocurrencies “at some point” in the future.

Pointless article.

Pointless article.

I wish there was a way to avoid all Bloomberg articles. Biggest load of bullshit most of the time. Some of the journo's do include it in the OP which I appreciate.

I really can't see how any company would accept Bitcoin as payment considering how wildly the value of Bitcoin swings from day to day. Not to mention the tax nightmare for both the payer and payee.

as much as I hate to agree with you, this is true.
problem with BTC is its volatility and the fact the rest of the finance world hasn't caught up to crypto in general.
