Why Apple Is Afraid Of Bitcoin
- petrilli 14y agoI seriously doubt that any executive at Apple has given 5 minutes thought to Bitcoin.
- oliwarner 14y agoTheir current model seems to be they want a 30% cut whenever a developer so much as farts. If you don't give them their 30%, they kick you out. BitCoin not being a real currency probably jumps over their legalese a little and would allow somebody to make an in-app payment without giving Apple their "dues". I frankly think the whole situation is ridiculous. God knows how Apple (and the others, to be fair) justify hogging 30% developers' revenues but conversely, what idiots are going to put their livelihoods on the line with something as changeable as BitCoin? It's not just that its rate can crash but that Apple can very swiftly make you an ex-developer.
- paulhauggis 14y agoI can't honestly see anyone trusting Bitcoin at this point, aside from people that need it for illegal activities.
