While people are comfortable and have no reason to take control they will stick with the banks.  Think ofall the other shit they have to worry about like kids/housing/eating etc. 

Bitcoin needs to provide very clear simple and obvious benefits.

THIS^^

there are so many payment processors, so many mobile applications, so many fees, logins, credit cards, payment gateways...why should anybody use another one. well maybe because it is apple and there are lot of fangays around which are using all possible apple services..but I hope that majority will simply refuse this money sucking system from greedy corp.

Really? No matter Apple pay is a currency or not, Apple Pay is much better(much more users than Bitcoin) than Bitcoin, this is the reality.

How can Apple pay really ever be globally accepted?  I could possibly imagine that it would be adopted as a 'one of many' digital payment system, a bit like we all accept Visa or Mastercard now.
But I don't have an iPhone, I don't want to have an iPhone so I will not be able to use Apple Pay.  It seems to basically be a contactless payment system, which have already be adopted into cards, so why do I need a massive expensive phone to do the same thing?

Bitcoin is completely different to Apple Pay.  It isn't a way to pay in USD, it is a new monetary system.  It is the next step, we went from Metals, to Metal backed currency, to unbacked currency and we will then go to protocol back cryptocurrency.  Don't mix the 2 things up because they can both work on your phone.

Both of these technologies, bitcoin and Apple Pay, will likely meet a high degree of success. In the long-term however, it remains clear to us that open, independent systems which allow the free movement of information will rise to the top.

No traditional corporation looking for monopolization and centralization will find success in the information age. Instead, look for systems which comprise networks of computers to formulate some of the largest monopolies in history, yet do so while excluding no one and making information fully transparent.

Apple Pay has huge potential due simply being something that Apple made. Apple could brand a box full of shit and it would still be a success. Such is the sheeple.

I think a better question is - who from the bitcoin community is working with Apple to have them accept BTC on the Apple Pay transaction network?

It would certainly be easy for some bitcoin folks in the Bay Area to get a meeting with Apple, has anyone heard rumors of this sort?

The more bitcoin becomes a currency of choice the more transaction services like Apple Pay, Venmo, and the godfather PayPal will find it critical to include the digital currency as an option. It's all about how many transactions can they get, right now bitcoin doesn't have enough transactions to make it viable for inclusion.

Just my BTC0.12376...

Economy is a complex system. Bitcoin is the lightning bolt and the wind that will morph into something much bigger.
Apple Pay is the same old shit rebranded.

You sound quite surprised Sheeple have no brain of their own.
