Title: Google Wallet, make your move fast...announce Bitcoin integration (with no fees)

Won't put ApplePay to shame but it would be a step in the right direction. What the typical consumer gets out of a relationship with ApplePay is less friction. They already know the experience of paying for apps on their iOS devices and Macs is seamless. Now they can have that in stores.

Wait, are you suggesting that they SHOULD do it, or have they actually announced it?

Apple Pay is amazing, watched the presentation. Not sure if your wake-up call will help Google Wallet  :D

That would be most awesome move Google can do, what goes for online payments. But then, Google monopol thing starts lurking in back of my head....

Yeah the title is misleading. Cant see Apple ever integrating bitcoin into this. They'd likely try create their own coin or currenncy.
