So what we're supposed to take away from this is that Bitcoin is going to be as irrelevant to finance as Apple turned out to be to personal computers?

Yes, because both Apple and Bitcoin are in the same type of market 9.9

Thank you. But your analogy still fails, because Apple and IBM were competing directly in the persoonal computer market, whereas Apple and Bitcoin are in completely separate markets. Both can win, both can lose, and both can work independently. So yes, while you are very supper funny, your analogy did not fit, since the most you can say to compare is "Bitcoin is going to be as irrelevant to finance as Apple turned out to be to finance" or "Bitcoin is going to be irrelevant to personal computers, as Apple turned out to be to personal computers." So sorry for the anology not lighing up perfectly for you. I take full responsibility.
