They simply took a closer look at the feature, and found that it clearly violates one of their rules for monetization (which is that tips associated directly with content must use in-app purchase).

This does happen. Most people don’t realize that a number of years back there was a large outcry at the length of app review times. They fixed it, and I’m pretty sure that was partially by not looking as closely at everything an update does.

I don’t think anyone should infer there’s any prejudice towards bitcoin or that there’s going to be any wider look at BTC-oriented apps. Many folks definitely seem to be drawing the wrong conclusions here IMO, from what I’ve seen in the last week.
