Uber Is Considering To Accept Cryptocurrency Payments
Uber is considering to accept cryptocurrency payments. Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi spoke to Bloomberg.
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in an interview with Bloomberg that the company may start accepting cryptocurrency payments for its services.
Khosrowshahi said, "As we accept all kinds of local currencies, we plan to consider cryptocurrencies and/or Bitcoin as a means of transacting. It is good for business, good for our customers and employees, so we will definitely look into that. If there is a benefit in this, we will do it if there is a need, but we will not do it just as a promotional campaign."
Recently, more and more companies are considering the possibility of using cryptocurrencies as a payment method. For example, Twitter's CFO said earlier this week that the company is exploring the possibility of using Bitcoin.
As for Bitcoin, the world's most popular
cryptocurrency, its price has started to slowly recover this week after a significant drop earlier. At the time of writing, 1 Bitcoin (BTC) is worth $ 42,443.
