Gotta say, that article seems incredibly misguided to me. I think BTC might have issues with confirmation time right now that prevent a ton of in-store user adoption, but the long-term important advantage that BTC has, in my view, is transaction cost. Apple isn't going to reduce transaction cost one iota for anybody in the chain, from what I can tell, but somebody pleae correct me if I am wrong. For ordering online for next-day ship, fo airline tickets, for anything that doesn't require immediate change-of-possession, there is a 4%+ advantage to using BTC. I just wish somebody would integrate a BTC wallet with gasoline pumps and come up with a way for me to put gas in my car while saving that 4%+, then split that savings with the merchant. Apple just provides a slicker interface for using the same system of usury. If anything Apple has proven historically that people are willing to pay a considerably high premium for ease of use (or even perceived ease of use). Apple pay can go fuck itself. edit: All the FUD against BTC can be redirected at applepay please. Except this time, it's legitimate.

Apple have proven that locked down proprietary systems work for you for a while and then your customer wants something that lets them do what they want.

But I don't see that as a threat to a blockchain-oriented solution. Consumers may very well be happy to pay, but ultimately, what goes on behind the scenes will migrate towards lower cost solutions, IMO. In other words, Apple Pay could end up being the gateway to something more efficient.

A long at $400 can only lose $400. A short at $400 can lose way more than $400. Crazy shorts.

Don't discount two of Apple's competitors in the market either, Amazon and Google. Google has Google checkout, of course but Amazon is surely not going to let Apple take control here. That could be devastating, particularly to their whole publishing/reader thing they have going on.
