I don't know why people are harassing him. I feel most claims are legit. I own both AAPL and BTC but don't feel like for one to win one has to lose

It is easy to say bad stuff why Bitcoin will fail when we're in a bearmarket. It happends in stocks too, bankers suiciding talking about the end of the world etc..
Then when it goes up everybody is a financial genius. Cheesy

Bottom line ofcourse companies like AAPL will COMPETE with Bitcoin because it is a huge market and if interest grows why shouldn't they?
Competition is healthy and Bitcoin is niche as it is anyway... I don't think many using Bitcoin will use APPLEPAY.

The possibility to pay using the NFC technology it is not an apple's exclusive. You can do it since 2006.
Really i don't think Apple Pay will change the bitcoin's world so hard Wink

This is the land of wolves now & you're not a wolf

Hopefully it will end up being the opposite, and BTC ends up making apple pay useless. And this is coming from someone who uses a lot of Apple products...

The revolution will be monetized!

Apple pay will make no inroads into my economy. I use only the best money, only bitcoin.
They are not even comparable ideas, IMO.

Everything is a business strategy.. It doesnt matter what they are getting as long as they are getting.

Paypal formed partnership with Bitpay, Coinbase and Gocoin.

Don't keep / use your bitcoin from that service

Your an Idiot!? Is that enough of a comment? Oh sorry Let me add one more little thing..

Here is a world 10 yrs from now, where many if not Most merchants businesses accept BTC:

Scenario:

I am Sydney Australia, and my friend is in Berlin. He needs some cash Instantly for a Taxi unfortunately he happened to drink a little too much and spent all his money for the night and forgot he needed a taxi (Taxi's In Germany accept BTC in this world) so he SMS me from across the world and says Bro can I ask you for a favour !! Can I borrow 0.04 for a taxi I am all out ..... I say yes no worries and send over the amount he wanted, Instantly he sees the transfer happen in his BTC wallet and transaction waiting for a confirmation, in exactly 7 minutes the money was in his wallet ready to spend. (Happened to be a fast confirmation today as it usually takes a whole 8-10minutes For the funds to be irreversible and CLEAR.

Your friend should really call his friends or his parents rather than waiting for you to help with the taxi fare...
Last block 48 minutes Wink

The OP's friend does not need to call his parents because he can use the bitcoin that was sent to him. His friend can simply spend the bitcoin that was sent to him. There is nothing in the protocol that prevents someone from spending an unconfirmed input

Just because a transaction is 0/unconfirmed does not mean that the inputs are not able to be spent. For a transaction this small, the taxi company would likely accept it as well.

I wouldn't touch anything Apple with a 10 ft pole. Apple would be begging to have anything to do with Bitcoin, let alone making it useless

Would be good if HTC and Samsung went to include a native Bitcoin app on their next devices as a direct competitive move for Apple pay. Would totally fudge up apples stratagy Grin
