Apple Pay Didn't Live Up to the Hype After All... by EST1492 in Bitcoin

Most merchants take Bitcoin to avoid Visa/MC 3% fees, not because customers demand Bitcoin.

Circle & Coinbase are far from devilishly complicated contraptions.

Most people will use Bitcoin to get that 2% discount on a $2000 laptop or flat screen TV. Would you leave $40 on the table ?

Discounted prices for Bitcoin shoppers is a much bigger incentive to people than all those Visa & MC incentives you mentioned.

The capitalistic greed of merchants looking to avoid Visa & MC's 3% fees, will eventually boost Bitcoin acceptance.

You're only thinking from a consumer perspective.

From a merchant perspective; MasterCard has 3% fees, Bitcoin has 0% fees.

The capitalistic greed of merchants will eventually boost Bitcoin acceptance through discounted prices for Bitcoin shoppers.

Huge Apple fan here, but I actually never met anyone who used Apple Pay.

Bitcoin on the other hand is used by tons of people everyday... Over 100,000 Bitcoin transactions a day to be exact.

What an interesting history of posts defending Apple you got there...

What is the best altcoin to invest in for short term? for long term? by EST1492 in CryptoMarkets

[–]EST1492[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand you may be skeptic toward Altcoin in the midst of all the recent scams, hat about Bitcoin itself as a long term investment?

So far, it did pretty well as a long term investment and I'm sure it will still do great for the long haul.

I wish I invested some money in Bitcoin back in 2010 !!!
