Dave Jenkins travels with a device that allows people to buy bitcoins. As explained in a recent interview, the hardware is produced by a company called Fastbitcoinsand allows Crypto Cabbie to sell BTCs in cash before providing the buyer with a receipt. Basically, the service is a voucher system that can be redeemed for BTC after purchase in certain locations.

Jenkins says that dealing with him is much easier for customers than signing up for an exchange or using a cryptographic ATM in London that may require KYC identification. Crypto Cabbie calculates to be the first taxi driver to offer cryptocurrency purchases. "You know, you get up, get in a taxi, give the money and you have your bitcoin and go," Jenkins explained during his interview. Crypto Cabbie is a good friend of Danny Brewster, the maker of the point-of-sale terminal company Fastbitcoins (PoS) based in the UK.

Have a cabin in the digital world

According to Brewster, he sells Encryption-enabled PoS devices to stores and businesses around the world and is confident of developing his business during the crypto-bear market, believing that this would make his company stronger. His friend Jenkins has accepted BTC for taxi rides since 2017 and does not seem worried about the decline in value. Crypto's crypt explained:

I'm only interested in owning bitcoin itself – Bitcoin to bitcoin, satoshi to satoshi, whatever.

Jenkins noted that to call his taxi in the digital world, people can contact his Manage Twitter and provide him with a withdrawal position. While being driven to their destination, passengers can buy BTC from the taxi driver using pounds, euros and US dollars. However, Jenkins only sells BTC during its regular shift hours, ranging from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. in London. The taxi driver claims to make only a few cents of BTC for his efforts but does not sell coins to make money. Rather, he simply likes having more people in cryptocurrencies. "I do not think I'll become a millionaire," admitted the taxi driver.
