- YouTuber Crypto Rover sparked a rumor that Apple is working on incorporating Bitcoin as part of its Apple Pay service.
- This rumor has become relevant as a result of a series of publications by the CEO of Strike, Jack Mallers, has shared publications related to Steve Jobs and Apple.
- The company has not come out to make any statements, which raises the question, is this real or will it add to the series of rumors that have circulated around the company and its foray into the crypto ecosystem?
Although the crypto ecosystem is adding more and more followers, there is still a long way to go, and if a company can collaborate in its adoption, it is Apple. Rumors about the company founded by Steve Jobs and its relationship with cryptocurrencies resonate louder.
The idea that has been installed during the last days arose from the message that he published the youtuber Crypto Rover, who pointed out that Apple would send Bitcoin to the Moon, which raised the question of whether the technology company is working on incorporating Bitcoin as part of its Apple Pay service.
rumors or something real
The company hasn’t said a word about it yet. and the previous rumors ended in disappointment so don’t get your hopes up because it could happen again.
The rumor prior to this linking the company with Bitcoin was that Bitcoin would be added as Apple’s store-of-value asset.. This finally did not happen and everything was left up in the air. There were no purchases from the company and BTC went to the moon as expected.
What invites you to think that this time Apple is serious? Strike CEO Jack Mallers posted a tweet late last month of a video from Apple’s “think different” ad campaign that ran between 1997 and 2002.
“The ad featured black-and-white images of well-known historical figures such as Albert Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi, Thomas Edison, and Muhammad Ali. The accompanying voiceover talks about misfits, rebels and troublemakers, often thought of as crazy, being the very ones driving change.”, described the site CryptoSlate.
Will Apple be that crazy person who adopts Bitcoin to drive even more change? Cryptocurrencies are no longer foreign to the agenda, although they are still viewed with distrust by a large part of the market, especially the business market.
Mallers, who is very active on social media, also posted a message on Twitter about the Bitcoin Conference 2022 taking place in Miami with four images: the first was an infographic showing a QR code payment system, then a statement of the Strike mission, followed by a photo of Mallers fucking you in front of a Chase ATM wearing an Apple hat in Google colors, and finally a promo for himself speaking at the conference.
Last year at the conference, El Salvador announced that it would adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender. An impact news is expected for this opportunity and Apple’s could be an impact confirmation.
Apple working on its own technology
One person in charge of defusing rumors is Bloomberg, who clarified that Apple is “working on its own payment processor technology, which would allow less reliance on third parties”. This would not involve cryptocurrencies at first.
“The long-term plan would see Apple embed a number of payment functions into its own business, such as payment processing, loan underwriting, fraud analysis, credit checks and other customer service functions. , in its attempt to expand Apple Pay”, they revealed.
An announcement from Apple would mean a great impact, although we will have to wait for more official information. It is clear that cryptocurrencies appear on the radar and sooner rather than later they will be added to international payment systems.
