Apple has no immediate plans to accept crypto as payment, Tim Cook says

CNN  

New York CNN Business — Tim Cook is a cryptocurrency owner. “I don’t want to put any labels on me, it’s just that it’s something, from a personal point of view, I’m interested in,” the Apple CEO told journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin at the New York Times DealBook Summit Tuesday. “I don’t think people buy an Apple stock to get exposure to crypto,” Cook said. “It wouldn’t be us if we didn’t keep something up our sleeves.” Cook also addressed a number of other issues facing the tech giant, including criticisms that its App Store allows it to act as a gatekeeper between app developers and the millions of customers in the Apple ecosystem. He added that giving iPhone users the option to “sideload” apps from platforms outside the Apple App Store would, from Apple’s point of view, “be like, if I were an automobile manufacturer, telling me not to put airbags and seatbelts in a car.
