Currently based in NYC, but getting ready for a big launch in Minneapolis in response to the incumbent rideshare companies pulling out of the city in protest of increased rideshare regulation. Big opportunity to seize some marketshare without needing that much startup capital if your better financed competitors are removing themselves from that part of the market.
Nah it’s just that it uses blockchain technology for some reason (hype I guess), but it’s not coin related. (Blockchains can be used for other purposes than money).
Yeah exactly - the proposal here is to have a driver-owned worker cooperative run the app.
That’s a great idea, if someone can bring the software and enough advertising to make it successful. It’s really hard but possible.
It has already been done, that’s what the article is about: https://drivers.coop/

It’s a little bit cryptobro-y, but the intentions are good.
Isn’t crypto a good use case here actually? No cental database.

If it has anything to do with crypto the intentions are not good.

The Blockhain idea is actually great, crypto-currency is the scam. People need to learn differentiate.
Yup, for example it can be used to provide distributed authentication
Or leave an audit trail for a logistics business for example.
There are a gazillion use cases, most overlooked because of the coin stench.
