Is Apple going Crypto?

[fadhelbh]

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.

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.

Sorry, but I'm not hearing about Apple going full crypto. Someone? Who's that someone? Tim Cook? What would be the advantage of from Apple business point of view to accept crypto? For me this is just a hearsay, I didn't say it won't happen, but probably it will take Apple some time to study it and what it can really bring to their business in the future.

[Captain Sneeze]

We do not know if Apply will really going into cryptocurrency but I think it make sense if they will going into cryptocurrencies because Apple are one of big and famous company in the world. But, until now there is no news about this. Do you really think that they will really going into cryptocurrencies.

[kelz1]

It is not impossible, Apple is a forward thinking company and xbox accepted bitcoin so it should not be ruled out. They might even create their own token or blockchain instead

[Teamfearless]

I have Not the news but in the near future Apple will accept cryptocurrency payment because  cryptocurrency if the future .. I believe one day all the big companies across the globe will adopt cryptocurrency  and start receiving cryptocurrency  payment .

It seems like it's not because Apple is a big company, so it could be that Apple makes its own tokens or coins rather than adopting bitcoin in my opinion

Yes unless if cryptocurrency will be put to legal or acceptance to all the countries around the world. As we all know that apple company has a huge transactions and the company will not risk their money on a cryptocurrency system. If only cryptocurrency will be accepted to all countries around the world even if it only a means of payment that would be better for the company to join cryptocurrency.

This is good news for the cryptocurrency industry, Apple as one of the representatives of large-scale global companies and has a good reputation can provide positive effects and trends for the crypto industry. the level of investor confidence will increase quite high if this news can be confirmed. or even if Apple only applies blockhcain technology in their company, that has become a good progress for this industry.

[npiappes]

I think they have will consider it but I don't think it'll be soon...

[Ziskinberg]

I hope so but I'm sure if they will adopt unless they themselves will confirm that.
There's a lot of news in crypto and some speculation but not all of them are true and correct, we should be aware about the source of the information but the most reliable source should be coming from Apple itself. Imagine how it would change the market if it will happen, I'm sure it will lead to a big come back of bitcoin.

[don_ricci]

Apple is a big company with a huge impact on trends and economies in some areas. I think if they do not use block chain technology now, it means that they still think how use them the best way in the future. The fact that Bitcoin will be used is undeniable. As some say, progress cannot be avoided...

[jasminsmithj]

It will be possible. Businessmen will always go to where they can get and benefit a lot.

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

As many other people around here, you are putting the cart before the horse

It is not about Apple or any other business out there starting to accept Bitcoin as you and others come to think. It is about us actually using it as a means of payment, starting small. In the past, big businesses already tried to offer this payment option (for example, Microsoft, Steam, etc), and nothing happened as people were reluctant to pay with crypto. Basically, you expect that someone other than you will do something and you will be able to sell your bitcoins for a profit. There is no free lunch, not anymore

[sscarletmzileni]

Most probably I think.

[satosibtc1000]

If the Apple will be used cryptocurrency to calculate it will be very good. There were a lot of rumors and I read that this currency is RIpple, but I think that it was the wrong information. I believe that such currency should be bitcoin. I can't find the source where it was written right now, but I know that Apple uses blockchain in its Park.

[onlydumpstersreally]

Asked a friend who works in the Apple store in NYC - she laughed at my face
Don't know how much of a legit source she can be considered, but I always heard all the news about their products from her so I'll stick with the NO party
And I don't think that Apple itself would benefit from allowing crypto payments all that much, it will only disrupt the stability of the market for both Crypto and Apple

Always the same stuff. Rumors of large companies crypto money is going around. Amazon, Facebook, Google, Samsung ... Now it's Apple.

They don't bring anything to the market. Please let him know who's making this news!

I think this will happen only after Bitcoin recognizes more countries.

[vedderpeterson]

It is possible. Apple is such a big company and a lot of money are in this name so I think it is possible that they looking into Crypto investing.
