No more bitcoin wallets in Apple's app store. The bitcoin people see it as Apple doesn't want competition with its currency. (I find that laughable, since Apple uses currency based on the US dollar.) I think it's more a matter of Apple not wanting any part of when that market crashes.

As long as they don't ban my Monopoly money app all is good.

The large variation in currency valuation would make it difficult to sell something imo. Imagine if the dollar flucuated double digit %s over a short amount of time.

i don't think they were accepting bitcoin as payment, i think they took any app that had to do with bitcoin out of the appstore

They got rid of it because they don't want to be associated with what is mostly a pyramid scheme and something used for drug dealing and money laundering. It's not good for their image.

You're saying Bitcoin is more stable than USD?

The crazies come out of the woodwork.

Pretty much. Bitcoin is just a scam and not a legitimate business entity.

Do you pray to the Fed before meals and before bed? a legitimate business entity? legitimized by whom?

They still have PayPal, banking, and credit card apps in the App Store.

 

[Lithium381]

Of course they do, those are based on SOLID GOLD, those aren't fiat currencies. . . not like bitcoin!

Legitimized by common sense.

Apple also disallows gambling and sweepstakes apps because those are also ways to scam users out of their money.

Legitimized by an actual entity, IE the government.

Bitcoin in shit. No one uses it but Linux nerds and early adopters. It isn't for everyone.

But Bitcoin is legitimized by Mt. Gox who have firm stranglehold over what's supposed to be a decentralized currency. You want prices to spike? Shut down your servers for a few hours.

Bitcoin plunges as exchange Mt. Gox pauses all withdrawals due to technical issues




Bitcoin is such a decentralized currency. It's nice to know that no one person can manipulate the market at their whim.

Did someone say SOLID GOLD?

US$ has been valued between 1/1500 B to 1/400 B. So obviously its the US$ that's fluctuating like crazy!
