Topic: When will Apple accept bitcoins? - page 20. (Read 4064 times)
with the help of Apple and Mozilla, a clear step towards a different currency payment standard through a website built in 2013. This is the driving force behind Bitcoin and other currencies. Other codenames show that people have widely accepted the payment by encryption technology.
Accepting Bitcoins as a method of buying something ?
Never.
Since the price of Bitcoins keeps fluctuating the problem is its very risky for not just apple but for any other company or state to accept it as a method of payment.
It's essentially meant for a store house of value not as a method of exchange.( Some exceptions aside )
Also I don't think it will happen someday taken Bitcoins don't get centralized.

apple companies do not seem to be receiving bitcoin as payment for now may be forever because I see bitcoin prices can not be stable and very risky if used as a method of payment.
Its a matter of bitcoin evolving to that point, once we get there, every serious business would have no other option but to accept it as a major means of payment, but i do not think that can happen now with apple for example due to the alarming instability/volatility of bitcoin.
I do not think that apple will accept bitcoin. They can create a better cryptocurrency than bitcoin and therefore, there is no point in using such a slow coin like that. Otherwise, they can use ethereum or ripple instaed of bitcoin. Bitcoin will become digital gold in the future so that it is hard to accept it in normal transaction
There was a recent buzz regarding this news where it was titled "Apple accepts Cryptocurrency" but later on it was found that only the store which was selling the products used crypto currency and company had no direct links in encouraging sales using crypto currency. I believe Bitcoin and other currencies need to have more used globally before being accepted on such large scale as the volatility is double ended sword which can rise the profits of company and sometimes can also cause great loss. Until this problem is solved, there is very low probability that apple accepts bitcoin as payments system.
in my opinion apple will not accept bitcoin as its payment because i see apple disputes the total bitcoin available and bitcoin price conditions are very unstable, but when there is a better development maybe apple start receiving bitcoin but not for the near future.
When they really need to. But they'll fight it hard! Apple's business model is to lock everything down -- very closed indeed. This does not align with the goals of bitcoin, at least, how I perceive them.
tl;dr Apple = closed. BTC = open.

I guess Apple has different perspective on terms of there business. Integrity on the way they run their form is what makes them unique in their competitors. So adopting in Bitcoin is far realistic for now, but when time comes that blockchain will prosper then that would be the time that wee see some change on Apple.
I guess that's not possible because Apple has its own technology. without using blockchain technology Apple has been able to master the market in several countries.
We are talking about accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment rather than adopting its blockchain technology. There are many leading brands and companies which are accepting bitcoin from their customers and if the buyers of apple want to pay in bitcoin, I don’t think so there is any harm in it. Apple would take time but if all the competing brands start accepting bitcoin, apple would be left with little choice.
i dont think it will be happened soon or never!
because apple has power that make its own system or crypto i think!

Yeah bitcoin need to be accepted on big company like Apple,it's possible just imagine what happen later with btc if accepted on apple
I agree, it is necessary also if bitcoin is developed in large companies, because bitcoin development is also currently weakened, so if used by apple company then bitcoin will rise again and expand

I do not think that it will happen, at least, not for now.
Apple is not interested in centralization, neither in decentralized payment gateways, they want everything to be centralized, just take a look over this info on the internet

I think that faster Apple will create its own coin rather than pick bitcoin to be their main currency (in payments). For me this company is to big to just take something which wasn't create by themselfs.

I guess time will come, it will be opened. Especially when Apple already have their own Crypto currency. I guess, it takes time when that happen. No one knows but it could be a decade because they have to study it a lot. When that happens, it will be more easy.
Apple is working on laws. They can not accept bitcoin for payment even if they have such a desire. They will immediately lose their license and lose their positive image in the world of the legal economy. Now even cryptocurrency exchanges are forced to accept the recommendations of the KYC. Global corporations will never take such risky actions.
laws? by who? based on government that is controlled by corporations? haha, thats the point, they afraid that they lose the power, and control of everything on the market.
I think this will happen in the future, I am sure that this will take place in several years. I use products of Apple and this will be very convenient for me. Hope that soon apple understand that they will do a great thing if accept btc
Never because huge companies like Apple will never let their reputation get damaged. Other than that crypto currency is a dangerous kind investment and a risky path for Apple to consider.
I do not think that Apple will not accept bitcoin due to many reasons inside bitcoin itself. Instead of bitcoin, ripple or ethereum can be accepted as a payment method because they are faster and have a more comfortable price. And moreover, apple can create their own cryptocurrency too
apple may nt accept bitcoin but Apple may plan to start their own cryptocurrency coin if apple start their own coin it will be good for industry
