However, just like digital music needed the evolutionary step from Napster to iTunes, so, too, do digital currencies need this move by Apple.
Not comparable this way.
Obviously the correct comparison is Napster giving way to Torrent. Now we have centralized digital money, like Apple Pay, Liberty Dollars, and eGold giving way to Bitcoin. That is a perfect comparison in every single way.
