[2016-09-13]Apple iMessage Will Integrate Bitcoin Transfers In The Next 36 hours

[CrimBit]

Bitcoin Transfers Come To iMessage

For those lucky users who have a device running iOS 10 – which is expected to be released in the net 24-36 hours – the new iMessage will become a lot more versatile. While it has been a great tool to communicate with friends and family, payment options will be integrated. This will allow users to send money through the messaging system, which can be quite convenient.

While most of the attention will on Square Cash being integrated, Bitcoin users have plenty of reason to rejoice. The addition of Circle Pay to iMessage will let users send US Dollars, Pounds, Euros, and Bitcoin to any other contact or phone number in the world. This is another vote of confidence by the technology industry for what Bitcoin is bringing to the table.

That is awesome, maybe this Bitcoin thing will actually become popular

So many coins out there too, I wonder if any altcoins will benifit from this.

Oh and price rise soon? Hehe

I saw this and thought it was great news, it will bring potentially more people to be aware of bitcoin but with the way Circle works with the fees etc, the benefits of using bitcoin for the ordinary person over their native currency are not there, there is no incentive really so although it will bring more visibility, unless the user has some interest in bitcoin I can't see it being the huge news we expect it to be.

I could be very wrong.
