I think the satoshi FUD is strongly related to the paypal announcement. These markets seems to be manufactured. This whole situation reminds me of the Silk Road event last time. I bet the price of bitcoin will rise very soon. Too bad I already went all-in weeks ago. |

Agreed. At least there is no doubt that we are talking about the highest stakes. To the above update, you may add: Ebay, Apple, Alibaba, Google to compete for the global online payments market. - Ebay/PayPal are actively pursuing the incorporation of Bitcoin. - Apple is partnering with Visa/MC/AmEx. But should this solution prove to be less profitable than a Bitcoin-based one --it is a challenge-- Apple can switch, or it can add Bitcoin. In any case, for antitrust reasons (with recent MS precedent), Apple will probably not be able to shut out alternative payment solutions. - Google's Wallet seems to lag. Google is still free to incorporate Bitcoin and appears to have contemplated it. Same goes for Amazon. - Alibaba/Alipay seems more hindered to adopt Bitcoin given Chinese regulations. On the other hand, it is about to issue a very large IPO on the NYSE, I am not sure how being publicly traded on an American exchange impacts its regulatory framework wrt BTC. |

Alipay is not included in the IPO, it's no longer a part of Alibaba.
|
I decided to no longer use a signature, because people were trolling me about it.

Jobs would have made an apple app that allows you to pay with your bitcoin at the touch of your finger; that would be a killer app perhaps, one fingertip for each btc wallet, so you would be limited to 10  |

Apple is too reliant on the way things are to touch bitcoin until the money supply/marketcap is much larger, in my opinion.
Apple has $160 billion liquid USD. Bitcoin is just about 6 billion right now, roughly 4% of the total dirty fiat money they hold.
I suspect they will come eventually but we will need another order of magnitude increase. They want to keep people spending money on their new products, their target market is not us Bitcoin fanatics. Yet.

I thought to myself: blockchain is an incredibly powerful technology. And we are all waiting for it to become accessible, relevant, and ultimately personal. Who better to do that, and do it well, than Apple? But I don't think they will be in a rush. They'll let other people futz around for a couple years, and then they'll find a way to incorporate it so that 1) it is user friendly and 2) it doesn't betray the fundamental principles of crypto. There are many instances (e.g. the mouse) where Apple was not the first to market; but they were the first to do it really well. At least that's what I hope. |
