Topic: BAD APPLE QUARTER (Read 543 times)

Apple has now removed the Blockchain wallet app from its iOS App Stores. If you have an iPhone or an iPad you have no native bitcoin wallet options.

People new to Bitcoin can't get it, and those with the app already - on the next upgrade, the App will not reinstall.

This is Apple's eco-system, so it feels it can do what it wants. Especially if things get in the way of its own commercial aspirations.

Big businesses have seen the power of Bitcoin. They want to get in on the action, but if they can't control it, they will kill it and launch a bland copy.

Richard Branson would have lost Virgin Airways had it not been for British Airways playing nasty tactics to force his then new expansion into transatlantic crossings out of business. The publicity and the David vs Goliath battle established the airline on a firm footing.

What Apple needs is a good old fashion kicking from the public, and for that kicking to be very public.

Apple has to report progress every quarter. If it misses or dissapoints, the stock market kicks up a fuss, the stock prices falls and activist investors pen letters and emails to the CEO.

Its up to all of us to tell all our friends and family to:

1. Switch away from Apple as soon as possible, especially anything to do with the iPhone which is where Apple makes all its super profits.
2. Slow down or stop using Apps.
3. Take to social media - #BadApple #bitcoin
4. Do purchase lots of small items from its online and retail stores, and then take them back within the refund, where possible. This will cause mayhem to their stock ordering and supply chains. Done enough times, this causes logistics problems that can take months to unravel. It distracts the senior executives and ruins their weekends.
5. Tell friends and family to avoid Apple.
6. Bombard journalist with requests for news stories about Apple's anti-competitive stances. They need good stuff to write about, especially freelancers.
7. Take to your blogs and youtube.
8. Email your local politician and complain about anti-competitive practices. You may not have as much money as Apple, but you have more voting power.
9. Give Apple employees the cold shoulder.
10. Don't attend any Apple events.

Kick them where it will hurt the most, in the cash register. Lets create lawful bad apple quarters.
