Xapo Users Can Spend Bitcoin Through Uber Argentina

There has been a lot of talk about whether or not Uber is suddenly accepting Bitcoin payments in Argentina. One of the company’s tweets seemed to indicate this change, albeit any official reference to has been removed ever since. Moreover, there was an email sent out to Xapo users further confirming using Bitcoin through Uber Argentina.
For quite some time now, people have been wondering if and when Uber would start accepting Bitcoin payments. Considering how this ride-hailing application automatically bills clients once their ride has been completed, Bitcoin integration seemed rather difficult. But Xapo, a company known for their Bitcoin web wallet and debit card service, appears to state otherwise.
Xapo Cards Work With Uber One thing most people are aware of is how very few Argentines have access to a credit card. Moreover, the users who do so may have noticed their card is not compatible with the Uber service. Xapo cards, on the other hand, can be used with Uber from now on, giving Bitcoin users indirect access to the ride-hailing service.
