They should start a credit card business. Rakuten did this to great effect in Japan. Use the credit card, get points you can use for Uber. Customer acquisition is as cheap as putting a signup form in the back of each car and incentivizing drivers to mention it.

Searched around for it but there looks to be very little known info about the card right now (no rewards description etc).

An ubercoin and ICO would be more buzzword compliant.

We need an ICO jar. One Bitcoin in the jar everytime an ICO is mentioned in jest.

Given the current value of bitcoin, I think we'd need to put a satoshi in the jar (I'm personally not swimming in bitcoin)

UCO: Uber Coin Offering. The coins are mined by the power created by the regenerative braking of Uber vehicles.

They should do some sort of bankless electronic payments like their competitor go Jek in SE Asia is doing
