Title: Apple is going proprietary hardware/software and traditional payment systems.

So how is Google going to counter this?  I have seen some say that Google should jump into Bitcoin and pull the rug out from Apple.  Apple is touting reduced credit card fees and Google could up that to discounts + zero fees.  They could run all this via Android and Chrome + G-NFC devices.  Any thoughts?

Would be nice to prove a source to the start of this discussion so people can read up easier... in general both companies have attempted to compete over the same markets rather than split directions. Honestly I'd be very surprised if either went completely away from each other in future strategy.
