Uber hints at possible acceptance of payments in BTC

14.02.2022

Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber, said that the company’s management is seriously considering accepting payments in bitcoins. Moreover, Dara says that this will definitely happen, but with certain conditions.

“I believe that bitcoin and a number of other cryptocurrencies are now very important as a store of value,” said Dara Khosrowshahi.

The main condition for starting accepting payments in the first cryptocurrency is the moment when its energy consumption stops being harmful to the environment. The CEO of Uber is confident that this problem will be solved in the near future.

Recall that a year ago, Tesla invested $1.5 billion in bitcoin and added it as a means of payment. But, after some time, she canceled her decision precisely because of the harm of mining.
