You're the one who made the distinction of the currency (Dollar / Bitcoin) being hacked vs the systems that count/store/secure them being hacked. I suppose one could argue that counterfeiting is akin to the Dollar being hacked, but that isn't really relevant to the discussion of systems being hacked.
Does apple take bitcoins?
Absolutely

If it does NFC payments, Apple Play will work. After all, that is what AP is, NFC.
The UK just watches across the water with absolute amusement; totally bemused that anyone actually thought this was a good idea.
Yeah. Like dental care or constitutions. Who needs those?
I have never heard of ANY of the places I saw on that site. For damned sure I cant pay my bills, a restaurant check, or order from Amazon with it.
Plus, when your entire Bitcoin investment can vanish in the blink of an eye - as has happened more than once - with ZERO ZERO ZERO recourse, yeah, no.
Bitcoin.... Possibly the only payment system worse than CurrentC.

Please. That refers to Apple once again permitting apps in the App Store that use or process Bitcoin. You cannot pay Apple for iTunes content or in their stores with Bitcoin.
in response to your first quote. a blink of eye? really you mean like the ipad lol... i have made way more money with my bitcoins that i have ever made with my crapple stock.
in response to 2nd quote.
baby steps brah, rome wasn't built in day. besides it's up to apple if they want to start accepting bitcoins for itunes. unlike an apple fanboy who cries when they remove apple pay. i could careless if apple doesn't accept bits for itunes. but who knows give it time and just maybe it will happen. keep in mind also bitcoin is still in it's infancy. just 4 years ago bitcoins were less than 1 us dollar. i will but my bitcoin price up against apple prices as far as gains anytime brah.

Technically speaking, you CAN use Bitcoin to buy gift cards for a ton of merchants (the app Gyft lets you do it).

I was referring to Bitcoin theft.

I applaud you for your returns on your investment, and no one is saying that there isn't money to be made.
The point I was making is that to do pretty much anything with Bitcoin, you have to cash it out into a traditional currency and spend it the old fashioned way. You can pay with Apple Pay in more locations by several orders of magnitude than you can - natively - with Bitcoin. And, quite frankly, I don't think the trust is there for widespread consumer acceptance. If my bank is robbed, my deposits are insured. If my Bitcoins are stolen, I've lost them all with essentially zero recourse. That's not a risk that the masses are willing to accept - if they can even understand how Bitcoin works at all.
When you have converted all your cash into Bitcoin, closed all your bank accounts, get paid in Bitcoin and spend exclusively in Bitcoin, then we can talk. Until that time, consumer acceptance - and therefore merchant acceptance - is a moot point. Perhaps that day will come, "brah", but it's so far away that it barely merits discussion today.
i gain alot. for one i guess you could say i gain the same thing everyone who is pushing apple pay gains. maybe even more cause atleast with bitcoin i am in full control of everything that is inside my bitcoin protocol. notice i did not use the word (coins, wallet, or money) that is because bitcoin can be used for more things than just currency.
OK, I'll bite, tell me more. But perhaps we should </offtopic> and make a thread in Community Discussion.
first of all im still waiting for someone to produce a list of place that you can use apple pay that is bigger than the list i have provided until then. when you say apple pay can be used in more places is plain speculation. please provide the facts with some valid links.
and in response about bitcoin about using bitcoin for everything. there are folks out there that do use bitcoin for every single thing. unlike apple pay. you still can can't pay for a house in china or in the USA for that matter with only apple pay.

that fine by me. maybe this weekend when im not so busy working. i will gladly provide some videos that have helped me understand bitcoin. i know it's hard to grasp the concept because when have been brought up using cash and plastic. but there is a better and more secure way. don't know how old you are. but i remember when the internet was pretty just used for email. if you told someone back then you could do more than email you were laughed at.
You are 100% correct. Glad someone besides me gets it. But then again apple users are usually a few years behind everyone eles. Case and point the iphone6
I don't have a complete list of every single McDonald's, Walgreens and Subway in the United States, but I posit that that list dwarfs the list of BitCoin accepting businesses in the United states by at least an order of magnitude.
not telling you to post every single mcdee's. all the mcdonalds in the workd only count as 1. same goes for subway it only counts as 1. btw subway and wallgreens also take bitcoins lol..
Are you serious? There is no central "bitcoin" itself, like a central reserve bank. Bitcoin is just a ton of different repositories of number crunching holding stations. Those exhchanges that were hacked are effectively hacks making the dealing of that cryptocurrency defacto less secure. You're trying to are a minutae semantic that doesn't even matter.
Any currency where you can coin your own money is by definition more vulnerable and more volatile than a currency where the supply is centrally controlled.

Thing is this article just says it allows bitcoin wallet apps in the App Store, nit that they accept Bitcoins to make purchases.
I've not found somewhere where it shows you how to make a purchase with Bitcoins directly in the App Store.
How do you do it?
Pretty sure this would be a "clam chowder" post for Gruber.

Also, it was proven that BoA customers were the only ones to have the "double payment" problem, thus squarely putting the problem and onus on BoA.
As everybody else has asked you to do, clearly explain yourself without cliches and without jumps from one thing to another than only connect in your own head.
As put best in Billy Madison...
