Filip Brož NgoFebhuwari kulo nyaka I-Apple ikhiphe uhlelo lokusebenza lwakamuva lokuhweba lwe-Bitcoin ku-App Store, eyayibizwa ngokuthi iBlockchain. Lesi sinqumo sivuse ukugxekwa okubukhali kwe-Apple kanye nokuqagela okuningi mayelana nokuthi yini engemuva kwayo nokuthi yini efuna ukuyizuza.
Kodwa-ke, isimo sashintsha ngesikhathi se-WWDC eqhubekayo eSan Francisco, lapho cishe ngaphandle kokuqaphela i-Apple yashintsha imithetho yayo Imihlahlandlela Yokubuyekezwa kwesitolo sohlelo lokusebenza. Inkampani yaseCalifornia engakafiki babe nesimo sengqondo esibi maqondana nemali ebonakalayo, into ehleliwe engu-11.17 esigabeni sokuthenga nohlobo lwemali, lapho manje ithi:
I-Apple ingase ivumele ukudluliswa kwemali ebonakalayo egunyaziwe, inqobo nje uma kwenziwa ngokuthobela yonke imithetho yezwe neyenhlangano emazweni lapho Isicelo sisebenza khona.
Lokhu kusho ukuthi i-Apple isenelungelo lokwenqaba izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-Bitcoin ku-App Store, kodwa abathuthukisi manje banethuba elingcono kakhulu lokuthola izinhlelo zabo zokusebenza ngenqubo yokugunyazwa kunangaphambili kulo nyaka. Ngakho-ke i-Coinbase, i-Blockchain, nezinhlelo zokusebenza ze-Fancy zingase zilinde ukubuyela ku-App Store. Kuze kube manje, izinhlelo zokusebenza ezazisa ngemali ebonakalayo kuphela ezivele kuyo, lezo ezihweba ngayo zisusiwe. Kodwa-ke, kuye kwaba negagasi lokucasuka, ikakhulukazi emphakathini we-Bitcoin, futhi i-Apple manje isivule amasango ayo. Kodwa-ke, kusekhona inkinga yokwamukela i-Bitcoin ezindaweni ezahlukene, lapho izimali ezibonakalayo zikude nokuba nombono ofanayo emhlabeni jikelele.
Ukuthi yini imbangela yokushintsha kwesimo se-Apple akucaci, kodwa ngokusho kwabahlaziyi abahlukahlukene, kungenzeka ukuthi i-Apple ifuna ukuthuthukisa imali yayo ebonakalayo esikhathini esizayo, futhi ngaleyo ndlela i-Bitcoin izoba imbangi yayo enkulu.
