I think it will be great if Apple adopts bitcoin. They have the best marketing people in the world so the bitcoin demand will probably go through the roof. They have been able to get people to buy overpriced, outdated products for years :p.

What a joke. I saw that and closed the tab on my Chrome, hardly cared about the 'no innovation this year either' fest, certainly not bothering with Safari to see it.

Apple's irrelevant to BTC whether they accept or not. Their market share is negligible in productive economy, so they're not really a supplier to the industrial chain we're looking for. Academic institutions, where Apple's more pervasive (if only because of Apple-lobbied government "technology grants"), are going to be one of the last, if ever, to accept BTC, so even though they do see a lot of deployment in schools, it's still not terribly relevant -- there's not much target audience crossover. Dell is a bit different -- businesses use Dell for large-scale deployment, which makes a "BTC serpent" model, where the business can accept BTC and use BTC to buy supplies and capital investments hassle-free, more viable. BitPay, for example, can go ahead and order 100 Dell PCs for office use in BTC with a business model where they accept BTC, and that's awesome -- but it's still too incomplete, because Dell sure isn't paying its suppliers with BTC. Other related companies like IBM, Cisco, Foxconn, or Linksys would be huge.

Every little drop, though, I guess.

You think a corp like APPL will accept BTC.  LOL.  DEF no.  A corp with a sign of an Apple eaten by Eve... is going to adopt something decentralized.  OBV NO.

Dunno why there is all this fuss around Apple with regard to bitcoin. iPay will just be a new Paypal.... just uses existing payment systems. Pull payment systems, credit cards....

Whatever....

Edit: Add bitcoin? LOLOL

So, since I wasn't watching the stream, perhaps someone can enlighten me about what the new Apple watch thing does that cell phones don't already do?

Are we feeling like this is gonna bomb?
