It's beyond ridiculous for bitcoiners to celebrate because apple pay is having technical issues.
1. Apple pay and bitcoin don't compete with each other. Bitcoin isn't a company nor a product. It's a technology. For all we know apple pay might start using bitcoins in the background in a few years.
2. It would be a blessing for the bitcoin community if apple manages to shift consumer's behavior on how they pay for things.
We're not celebrating Apple's failure, we're laughing at it. Okay, so putting a camera on a phone was pretty cool, but putting all my account information online with a portable device is just silly. Apple had security issues in the past. They should stick to adding functionality to phones like TV remotes, walkie talkies, or Star Trek Tricorders.
