Took a 20 minute Uber today, cost me $19.89. Driver took home a little over $5. 

Uber's take is 75% - that seems surprisingly high. I would have expected a split closer to 50-50.

i know it’s an old idea but hoping p2p sharing networks can actually take off using farcaster identity for social proof

uber, couch surfing, local buy/sell marketplaces, etc

i think that's a really hard business to pull off p2p. 

uber is in the business of selling trust. i know that i'll have a decent experience, wont get ripped off, will arrive safely etc.

Yes totally accurate. But their actual product is their logistical software. P2P would need that to compete and that’s big bucks and time.
