Just want to ask if anyone hear anything about this, I will post the same on other forums so I get it to many people as possible.

Someone told me that one of the largest companies in US is going crypto, it will start accepting crypto currencies in their local and online stores, and they will go further by integrating it in their electronic payment.

This all going to happen late in 2019, they will start by loosen up their eco system as it currently very tight.

He said a lot of things but I didn’t care much as I don’t know what was his source.

Few days ago, Apple announces that other manufacturers TV will support Air Play which is big as Apple never allow that on third party devices.

This reminded me of what he said, and made me think that he knows what he talking about, further more I assume now the company should be Apple.

So I f Apple start accepting crypto on their Apple Pay, it will going to have huge impact on the crypto market the prices should sky rocketing, everyone will follow Apple and probably do the same.

I have few crypto and based on the above If many confirms that they hear the same, I will buy more and hold selling them until end of 2019.



Accepting crypto by a particular company does not automatically translate to increase in the value of open source crypto that we all have access to and for the fact that Apple is accepting and other companies following that path still does not amount to that and the reason is simple. What they would do is to create their own kind of crypto that can be purchased with fiat and used solely on their platform just like all of the gift cards we see or the AliPay. It then means that other companies coming in would also want to be independent. The influence on open source crypto would only be marginal because of individuals who will be understanding that there is a new market in other to cash in on it.

Is it likely for Apple to accept bitcoin as payments? Probably not as of now in my opinion. Is it impossible? Definitely not. I mean, unless that "someone" has a source for his/her claims, then it's pretty much irrelevant. Who knows if that "someone" just made a baseless claim just to get people to buy bitcoin. This might just be another tinfoil hat theory, just like the rumours in the past about Facebook straight up adopting Litecoin.

the longer, false information and claims like this are more prevalent, usually it is not a big company like Apple, Facebook, Google, but this often happens in ICO projects that often trick investors with the iming partnership of large companies like IBM and so on. And we should often to check and recheck again to make sure whether this is true or not
