Good points. It doesn't address the fact that Apple Pay is currently only usable in the US. And it will be forever limited to those with the latest iOS device

Good points. It doesn't address the fact that Apple Pay is currently only usable in the US. And it will be forever limited to those with the latest iOS device and credit cards. My point is that Bitcoin provides more functionality than Apple Pay today for the 99.9% of the world who aren't holding an iPhone 6 in the US.
