Coinbase + ApplePay = A Match Made in Heaven?

If Coinbase added ApplePay support, one could link their Coinbase account to ApplePay and instantly be able to use BitCoin to pay anywhere ApplePay is supported.

I sure hope the folks at Coinbase are smart enough to realize the massive potential here and are already working on this.

Well they were smart enough to implement "browser finger printing" so I guess they will be smart enough to realize that.  

Just when I thought all the AML / KYC regulations were overkill.   For me.. it's a match made in Hell.

Yes, sounds perfect. It just might be a "problem" if they do, then PayPal can do it too.
Hope that "problem" will happen soon.

This, the fees they would charge be very real and painful at that point I am sure.

Applepay came out and if you think about it is very similar to bitcoin. I dont think they will ever be matched together since apple is a greedy company and likes to be in control of everything which is the opposite of what bitcoin stands for. Think about it all apps need to be approved by apple and bitcoin apps are constantly being removed.
