The platform\'s CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, announced that in the near future, users could pay for ride-hailing services with cryptocurrencies. In an interview with the American financial advisory firm Bloomberg, the executive mentioned that they expect the company to implement changes that would help reduce fares and make the process more environmentally friendly before implementing Bitcoin payments. “As the exchange mechanism becomes less expensive, it becomes more environmentally friendly; I think you\'ll see us leaning a little more towards crypto,” Khosrowshahi explained. The ride-hailing company is expected to update and integrate this type of payment. Meanwhile, Khosrowshahi affirms this possibility as a long-term goal, following in the footsteps of other companies, such as Microsoft and Tesla, which already use this updated payment method. Even countries like El Salvador already accept Bitcoin as their official currency. The current concern centers on the environmental impact related to cryptocurrency mining. Khosrowshahi believes these are temporary problems that will be resolved, therefore opening the possibility that in the future Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies could be used to pay for Uber rides.
