“Apple has slowly been pulling Bitcoin trading apps from the App Store, and yesterday it removed an app that claims to have been the ‘last remaining’ one. Blockchain, which says its self-titled app has been in the store for two years, has written a scathing harangue on its blog criticizing Apple for the removal of apps that allow users to trade bitcoins. Blockchain suggests that Bitcoin threatens large corporations’ control over existing payment systems and could stymie the success of services like Google Wallet. Apple doesn’t currently operate such a service, though there have been hints that it is beginning to create one.”
