It is very clear at this point that the larger market does not want bitcoin, it wants credit cards and apple pay.
I don't think it's that people want ApplePay, per se. It's just that most people are too lazy to read instructions, which Bitcoin requires. Versus ApplePay:
Step -2: Have Apple pay app (already on your phone coz apple pushed an update) Step -1: Link credit card (already did because you linked it to your apple ID) Step 0: Pay
Sometimes tech just feels like a stupid battle to see who can onboard the most people in as few steps as possible. (It's what makes Apple so powerful, fuck apple). Bitcoin has too many steps
The main is setting up the exchange, transferring BTC from there to wallet, for BTC particularly have to also look out for fees and other different stuff. Although I think this is not something to get demoralized since we are at the beginning phase, yes the technology is fast but evolution to a better is always slower. Overtime there would be solutions to this I believe like lightning btc solves a lot of payment problems, fees, waiting times etc. New minds, new problems, new solutions, thus betterment overall.
