mind you the bitcoin foundation would love it, say it legitimized bitcoin. i think they have no reason to live if they don't file an anti-trust action against APPL.

Picking an anti-trust fight with AAPL? Even if fun to watch it would sink them completely and gain us very little. Bitcoin doesn't need AAPL as much as AAPL needs bitcoin. Let them be the late adopters.

Bitcoin is the means; ie: the protocol, on which applications run; like messages/monetary transactions and probably many more to come in the future. Or if you prefer "the river" that many "boats" will be floating. Whether a company (no matter how big or small) decides to (or not to) incorporate it to their marketing philosophy it's really their call. Eric Schmidt from Google yesterday said in an interview that "We should have been into social networking earlier". Maybe it's Apple's turn to pay (or not) the price for not getting into bitcoin.

This new year will really be a huge turn for Bitcoin. I'm not sure if it's $10000 or $10 by this time next year; but what I have to stand for is this: It's a brand new innovative tech that it's similar to no other. The thing we have to answer to ourselves is: Is the world ready for such a technology? Only time will tell. Roll Eyes

AAPL can afford the US$10000 coins a lot more easily than most.
