Google and Square both announced yesterday that they were in the process of creating new payment systems that would be able to accept Bitcoin. With their gamble on Google wallet not doing so great (I love it honestly… talk about EASY) they are starting a new project code named “Plaso”. Plaso is looking to compete head on with ApplePay. How does google already have an advantage? If Apple was smart with their product implementation and wanted it to take over world wide. They’d open up their apps to allow not only iOS devices but Android and Windows as well. There is no information yet on how they plan to implement this pay system whether it be NFC or Bluetooth. Each has it’s pros and cons. As new information comes out I will make sure all of you are updated!
Sometimes we all just need good news regarding investment options we’ve chosen. I found this link to be just what I needed.
Bitcoin was relatively quiet this week with a small pump on price as I was typing this article. As I finish, It’s sitting at $240.48 on Coinbase. Have a great week everyone!
