This looks like it, maybe why we are once again going up after the big drop off. This might really start things rolling. http://www.businessinsider.com/bitcoin-apps-in-the-app-store-2014-6It looks like Apple has updated its app developer guidelines today to allow for Bitcoin apps.
The new clause under section 11.17, which was flagged by folks on Twitter like investor Bill Lee today https://twitter.com/westcoastbill/status/473555837982900226, reads:
Apps may facilitate transmission of approved virtual currencies provided that they do so in compliance with all state and federal laws for the territories in which the app functions.
That sounds like Bitcoin!

BTC = Black Swan. BTC = Antifragile - "Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty. Robust is not the opposite of fragile.

I know a lot of people hesitant about bitcoin because of Apple.
Yeah, bitcoin will march on regardless of what they say or do, but it's the difference between marching through mud vs on pavement.
Big news.

I cannot in any way understand why anyone gives a flying fuck about what that dying dinosaur of a walled garden does. With the way they operate as a company they ought to be completely irrelevant in this world

anyone who still uses Apple after all that Bolshevist crap, needs brain surgery a device should do what the owner wants it to do, independent from any regulation, at the end of the day it's the owner and not the lawmakers that paid for the device. apples arrogance is breathtaking. this is like selling a car that is hard coded not to go faster than the current speed limit

With the way they operate as a company they ought to be completely irrelevant in this world They are not innovative, but they're not a dying dinosaur. Apple and their products are still very much relevant whether you like it or not. They provide an easy and accessible product for the masses. Not everyone cares about tech like we do. Some people just want a Toyota.

Biggest company in the World. I guess it's reasonably significant Roman empire was the biggest in the world - for awhile. IMHO Apples OK is irrelevant to BTC price, what it means is only that they found that messing with BTC is bad for business Good hardware wallets will have a much stronger effect than this

Some people just want a Toyota. I might be celebrating that a bit too early, but i do think that they will be spiraling down like last time they didn't have Steve around. He might have been a sociopath, but he was brilliant at spotting errors and bloat in products. In any case, Apple allowing wallets is of course positive in the short run, so, yay!

Its so cute watching the people who are "too cool for Apple" act unimpressed.
Go back 12 months and think how excited you would be if Apple even *acknowledged* Bitcoin existed.
This is huge news.

The android upgrade problem is do bad the majority of android devices are out of date. So who is getting fucked more?

And that problem lies in the fact that the hardware producers stops compiling for old phones, it's not an Android or google issue.. It's like saying that bitcoin is shit because of Gox.
