To build alternatives to a financial system which directs the governments and militaries of the world, you will not get the help of mega corporations who are part of the system you are subverting.

So this line of thinking implies that bitcoin is bad for business? Why wouldn’t Apple want in on it?
No processing fees. Seamless payments unlocking all of the unbanked populations. My guess is the value exchange on such a network at a global scale would result in more payments for Apple.
Look wider.
you don’t understand the ground you are walking on.
bitcoin is a threat to the empire whose currency is the prime reserve currency. and it is used to control entire continents.
entire nations have been destroyed for threatening to do what bitcoin does by its inherent function.
Apple would have to defy Wall St and the Pentagon to do what you want. They won’t do it. Ever.
Sounds way too conspiratorial for me. I’m a practical guy and think companies do things they do for practical reasons - profit.
If apple never adopts bitcoin or lightning, it’s not because of some deal with wall st or some govt, but because it’s not profitable to do so.
Wall st would rejoice if bitcoin / zaps unlocked more profitability. Or do you mean to tell me wall st cares more about control over the populace than it does about profits?
Follow the money is a saying for a reason.
I understand. There is great appeal in the comfort of ignorance. Without it, you have to start asking yourself questions like, “ why HAS my country attempted coups in 74 countries since 1947?” Or “why has every war we’ve fought since Vietnam been for the preservation of the petro-dollar?” The blue pill is a legitimate choice for some.
Fortunately the BRICS financial alliance and growing Bitcoin economies of Central and South America will provide the frameworks we will need to build liberty.
Carry on. And Good luck with Apple! 🍎 😁
You could be rude and call me ignorant, as you are being now. Or, you could consider that I’ve considered your point of view and assigned lower probability of that being true.
Oh don’t be offended little buddy 😀 Wisdom is proved of all her children. Carry on with what you know, and be hopeful. Understanding comes with time.
