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. These actions by Apple once again demonstrate the anticompetitive and capricious nature of the App Store policies that are clearly focused on preserving Apple’s monopoly on payments rather than based on any consideration of the needs and desires of their users, writes Blockchain. Apple doesnt currently operate such a service, though there have been hints that it is beginning to create one — and Blockchains CEO, Nicolas Cary, tells Wired that he thinks this potential Apple service is the reason Bitcoin trading apps are being pulled.
