It's likely/possible for the drivers to be insulated from that with something like bitpay that auto-converts to currency.

  But if you auto-convert to currency then what's the point of using bitcoin at all?

    Just a guess— because it's easier for LibreTaxi to implement as a free open-source project, without needing to deal with IRS, banking, & other financial bureaucracy.

      Means the drivers get to have all that fun themselves instead.

        They still have to file taxes and deal with banking if they get paid cash.

  Bitcoin gatekeepers are slow and have delayed or altered conversions such that they profit due to fluctuations in Bitcoin value.
