applepay is a 'feature' of the existing fiat payment infrastructure. Bitcoin is a totally different beast.

True, it still doesn't solve bank bailouts, unlimited "stimulus money" printing and counterfeiting of bills.

Agree, it doesn't solve bank bailouts, etc., but it will implode under its own corruption.
The sooner it implodes, the better.
In the meantime, we can continue to work on expanding the parallel system of BTC that can be the alternative.

That's the big point :
-Appleplay is fiat
-Applebay is ruled by banks(ters)
-Government can size your money even if you use Applepay
-Apple's security is a joke
-Apple is NSA friendly

So, the lonely interest of Appleplay is that it's an easy to use feature... exactly like my nfc debit card...

Now it is just question of time before the masses will embrace bitcoin or apple pay! Bitcoin has convenience and is about to be preserved financial gain when it goes to mainstream and the price will be stable and preserve the value.
