How many people use apple pay ?
More than 65 million and this stats is of 2020 according to google.
How widely accepted is apple pay?
More and 85% sellers and merchants accept apple pay in US!!
Which does mean that apple pay allowing cryptocurrencies like bitcoins to be brought is no small move at all. This would enhance the overall capacity of the market to integrate more wide variety of customers making it better and integrating it with other systems as well, this also extends to show the support of apple in regards to Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies.
Now if Apple announces they hold BTC during the Miami bitcoin conference, which officially starts tomorrow (they are doing some promo stuff for the day right now) then this will cause this to be alot more relevant for the use of using Applepay for purchasing BTC.
Promos ? What kinds?
I think apple might try and open their online store as well to sell Bitcoins and Altcoins personally and we might soon see an apple wallet.
There are online stores as well who accepts Bitcoins as payments for the apple products as well, this industry is getting more and more integrated. Promos might attract a lot of people but it would also be noted that people would be easy to track as well.
