If apple pay/credit cards globally can tap into strike, it can drive a whole flow of capital into lightning, we need more direct on-ramps to lightning

Good theory. He is doing a payments panel on April 7 at the conference, then later he has an as-yet untitled talk (directly following Nayib Bukele). Miami Agenda

My view is a bit more pessimistic. I don't think Apple implements Lightning support. I think that his recent tweets is more about adopting a Bitcoin standard, flipping off anyone that doesn't have a Bitcoin strategy or doesn't think Bitcoin is important. "Think different" as in don't get stuck in a fiat world, think outside of the box (Bitcoin), etc.
Apple implementing and thus acknowledge Bitcoin would obviously be huge as that would make it easier to onboard a whole lot of people but I simply don't think that happens this year.

I have an ex-coworker who had $500 🌽 but couldn’t handle the volatility and sold at zero profit after holding for a few years. He now *hates * Bitcoin (projection obviously) but even more, loves Apple. Bitcoin coming to Apple in any way would make his head 💥💣💥!! I’ve got my 🍿🍿 ready!

All for a bit of hopium. But there is no way Apple announce anything Bitcoin related for a long time. Maybe it’s to do with the Big Apple? NYC related.

Maybe Apple announcing sending USD over LN, since everyone's still "allergic to peanuts." Man, if Cook can stealthly onboard all iphone owners into opening channels and then let them send sats directly too... pure hopium haha

I bet it's only something like using Apple Pay to fund your Strike account.
I think Apple will be one of the last companies to adopt bitcoin.
