Day 2 after a direct hit by #hurricanemilton and this seems like the perfect opportunity to start listening to some bitcoin podcasts. Without the distractions of TV or web surfing, I’ve finally had a chance to start educating myself.
Anyways, the show I decided on is simply called “ The Bitcoin Podcast”. I just finished listening to episode 2 I think (7/5/23). My ears perked up when I heard Damus’ name and Apple, in regards to the zaps confrontation. After hearing the interactions between Will and Apple, I understand why they aren’t looked upon in a good light by said tech giant.
While I am not directly defending Apple for anything they had to say about it, I can’t really blame them either. It’s their company, they can do WTF they want.
That being said, Will also had some very good points, especially his comment about using Apple Pay. I don’t remember his exact wording and don’t want to massacre it by trying, but it was one or two sentence complete dismantling of Apple’s logic. I would probably be a little oissy with you as well. 😂
Putting all of that aside, one aspect of Will’s mentality that puzzles me. If freedom is that important, why are you developing your app on a platform that is well known for having a business model in direct contradiction to this?
It feels kind of like you wanted your cake and eat it too. I don’t say this in a disrespectful way, I’m pretty sure this is why Apple has given the EU so much shit about essentially wanting the same thing as well.
And so I would tell you the same thing that I always tell the Europeans who have been crying about this, the option to choose has always been there, it’s called Android.
