Because it seems these days projects tend to attract funds just because of mentioning the word 'blockchain'.

I need to pitch to YC my idea of a blockchain-enabled, cloud-hosted deep-learning platform based on TensorFlow.

/probably needs more buzzwords //probably has been done ///probably already funded by YC...meh

It doesn't use a blockchain, the headline is misleading.

It's just car charging where you pay using Ethereum.

And the credit card charges. I am sure people driving uber would not mind keeping the 3% to themselves.

Are we still pretending transactions are free and instant like crypto enthusiasts used to claim 2-3 years ago?

Outside of the mess that is Bitcoin they are much cheaper than what credit/debit cards charge. More advanced coins like Ethereum take under a minute for an appropriate number of confirmations.
