Oh yes, I remember that quite well. At the time, it was a significant setback for the crypto community, and many believed that Bitcoin's potential would be seriously stifled due to Apple's actions. However, the community rallied together and continued pushing the boundaries of what was possible with blockchain technology.

It is encouraging to see that Apple has since come around to recognizing the value of Bitcoin and has even included the whitepaper in their products. As with any new technology, there will always be detractors and naysayers, but ultimately, the truth will come to light, and the benefits of Bitcoin and blockchain technology will become more apparent to all.
