But my Citibank app allows me to pay bills, transfer money between accounts, and deposit checks. LevelUp allows me to pay for things using credit cards linked to the app.

So it's pretty clear that Apple does allow financial transactions to happen in apps, without taking a cut or anything. What's unclear is why they would allow this for Citibank, LevelUp, etc., but not for bitcoin.



The issue is the LEGALITY of the currency.


Bitcoin was not illegal last time I checked.


The legality of the currency isn't confirmed either.


Since when do you have to confirm that something is legal? Isn't the predominant law system on this planet: It's allowed unless explicitly forbidden?


Where was the legality of Candy Crush confirmed?


The legality of that underscore in your username hasn't been explicitly confirmed either, and I say it looks too much like a weapon - so as far as I am concerned, you are a mass transporter of weapons.

Which is nonsense, of course. Things are legal unless explicitly made illegal.


No it isn't.
