Apple pay won't ever come close to hurting Bitcoin...the only way bitcoin can be in trouble is by us the users itself and I don't see that ever happening. So nah XD.

Yeah.. I agree. It will be so much better if Apple Pay integrates with bitcoin.

don't think so.
I don't deny that there is competition between them, but they are different type
and obviously Bitcoin is more flexible and convenient.

ApplePay is only limited to the US, while there are lots of people in the rest of the world. So no, it's not a threat at all in the grand scheme of things.
Hehe don't forget one more thing, Apple's solution only works for US resident customers shopping at US merchants. A lots of people won't be able to use it when they visit the US they don't have a residence there. Still leaves the vast majority of the world untapped. At least PayPal works in more than one country.
I don't think apple pay only works with US phones with US merchants.

Apple pay is a major selling point for the iPhone 6 (apple sells iPhones around the world) so I don't see why they would only make this feature available in the US.

Should it go the other way around? Bitcoin is a threat to apple pay?

And why is bitcoin a thread to the biggest company in the US even the world?

First experience with Apple Pay: $26 at Panera, paid w/Apple Pay, still had to sign a paper receipt. Yay for technology.

Apple Pay is not a threat to Bitcoin. I don't understand the hype surrounding Apple Pay. Google Wallet is pretty much the same thing as Apple Pay except Google Wallet has been out for over 3 years.

Of course, because there are some cooperations between  Apple pay and Bank ,there will be no  cooperation between the BTC and the Apple pay.

Coinbase's Brian Armstrong hints that ApplePay or something like it might support Coinbase in a few years.

There shouldn't be any problems in extending Applepay to other countries. After all, it is just an extension of the credit card payment system.

Yes. To average user, Apple Pay and crypto is same thing. Except Apple Pay is by Apple so it must be innovative, right?

Seriously dudes, expecting Apple consumers to know what they're talking about is a pipe dream.

Nope, it didn't even make it into the pipe

It was not meant to be insulting. Just calling it as I see it. By putting someone else's words in my mouth, you were being inaccurate. By taking issue with a statement, but not first verifying your assumptions, you were being presumptuous. Sorry to have hurt your feelings.

You did not hurt my feelings, and yes, your post was definitely meant to be insulting.  You don't call someone little with no intention of insulting them.

I didn't mean to actually quote you and since then I have fixed it.  I wasn't taking any issue with any statement, I was simply asking a question.  You can't ask a question and be presumptuous.
