As a baby boomer I would never let my Bitcoins anywhere near the DRM infected and heavily censored iPhone. I prefer GNU/Linux for handling Bitcoin. As for the iPhone and iPad they would be my second choice after the Microsoft Surface (Windows 8 RT) if I ever had the contract to install the telescreens in George Orwell’s 1984. Seriously the DRM and centralized control in these devices makes them ideal for the telescreen application. Other than as a telescreen under the control of the Ministry of Truth (Apple), I am too old to see the point of the iPhone and the iPad.

One thing many of my generation do not understand is why so many young people these days spend so much time updating every detail of their lives on Facebook so that the NSA can track their every movement? I mean there was a woman who literally walked of a pier into the sea while checking Facebook. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-25426263 I guess it was imperative that the NSA track her at the bottom of the ocean.

PS: Among the many things that Apple has censored is Bitcoin.

Concerned that blockchain bloat will lead to centralization? Storing less than 4 GB of data once required the budget of a superpower and a warehouse full of punched cards. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/87/IBM_card_storage.NARA.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card
