Topic: BOOM! BREAKING: Apple to allow bitcoin transmitting apps in AppStore (Read 4393 times)
I jailbroke my iPhone and have had the Blockchain app on it, but this will be a relief. I don't like having to jailbreak. As expected, tons of things just stopped working properly.

An Apple user would. I watched a documentary recently about Apple obsessives who refused to date non Apple users. That's how desperate it is.
Anyway I can only dream of Android. I would prefer to die than suckle on the Apple teat.

What? Not dating non-apple users??
This world has gone bananas.
Anyway, congrats to apple for the marketing!

They would probably make sex illegal if they could. But they can't, so it isn't.

Please don't spoil my sweeping generalisations. I've been carefully honing them over months.

Great way of generalizing. I am an Apple user (iPhone, not Mac) and I don't see any side as a loser. I'm also quite tech-savvy in the sense that I'm full-DIY and do software designing and programming. I can see why some people would prefer Android over iOS, however, these reasons don't apply to me. I just don't see how being tech-savvy relates to what phone you use. Anyway I can only dream of Android. I would prefer to die than suckle on the Apple teat.

Now you just have to laugh at all the people who smashed their iPhones when they removed the BTC apps

Apple is smart and have excellent products. Having said that, they've convinced their users to stick with them even though a good windows machine can be used 3 times as long even with multiple os updates.
It's more than just buying tech, it's also fashion and status symbol. I have friends who seem to be buying a new Mac every year just because they want it, not because they need it. That's just fantastic marketing. Bitcoin will certainly be helped by those who are "apple only". Many people are, no need to fight them.

My own lovely one. Tech savvy as in being keen to spend stupid amounts on the latest gadgets and staying on top of the latest developments.
Oh, I see. Yes, that describes Apple users quite well. Just don't see how the loser part fits with the Android users. I'm an Android user myself and I wouldn't describe myself as a loser, nor the OS itself. Apple and Android aim at two different types of costumers.
If you like to be able to fully customize your phone and are more of a tech geek, then I would go for the Android.
If you prefer a smartphone that's simple and gets the job done, then I would go for Apple.

I guess the average Apple user is more affluent and tech savvy/brainwashed than one of them Android losers. I'm a WP8 so no one loves me.
Average Apple users more tech savvy then Android users? In what alternative universe do you live?

Does this really make much of a difference? I see more and more people nowadays choosing cheaper alternatives over iPhones. I guess we'll be seeing developers making bitcoin IOS apps soon, but don't really expect this to have much of an effect on the adoption rate of BTC.

Funny to read how people react to the news here.
Apple dis-allowed bitcoin transmitting apps in AppStore - No one cares about apple, blah, pure FUD, won't affect the price for sure.
Apple allowed bitcoin transmitting apps in AppStore - BOOM! BREAKING!! M-M-M-MEGANEWS!!! THE PRICE WILL NOW GO THROUGH THE ROOF, THEN TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!!!!1

That's because most people, and even more so investors, are naturally optimistic. You see the same behaviour in any share/ finance forum. Theres also a psychological barrier to shorting, as it doesn't feel natural to make money when the price is falling.
It's human nature, get over it.
Yes, stupidity is part of human nature, and I don't want to get over it, since I enjoy reading things that are funny

Fasten your seatbelt, we are going vertical !
It won't reach the vertical stage until at least 5 digits.
We're still all early adopters.
When it reaches the vertical stage, how much do you think it will rise per day? (on average). When will we hit moves of over $100 per day?
The "vertical" stage just means that the exponential rise is coming to an end. If you take an exponential rise (and smooth away the booms and busts) and plot in on a liner scale, it will ALWAYS look vertical.
On average, bitcoin has been doing this:
rising roughly 10x per year
doubling every 100-ish days
increasing by 22% (ish) per month
increasing by two-thirds of one percent per day
That means we'll expect to hit $100 per day when the price itself hits about $15,000, which should be a little over a year from now.
Caveat: I'm calculating assuming a smooth rise, and of course there's lots of superimposed noise that places lots of room for error in those calculations.
Hmm I think we're about to reach the vertical of another bubble. Not the definitive vertical that will take us to da moon, but maybe one step further.
