The <strong>Bitcoin Lightning<\/strong> payment app, <strong>WoS<\/strong>, was removed from the <strong>Apple App Store<\/strong> and <strong>Google Play Store<\/strong> in the US after conducting over a million transactions in November.<\/p>\n<p>On November 24th, a number of users and cryptocurrency community members shared their searches for the <strong>Wallet Of Satoshi<\/strong> app on Twitter; however, these searches either yielded no results or directed users to other wallet applications. This situation triggered a negative response against Apple among cryptocurrency users.<\/p>\n<p>Industry writer and podcast host <strong>Kevin Rooke<\/strong> stated that WoS was a popular platform that made over 1.1 million Lightning payments in November 2021, and added that this was the company&#8217;s &#8220;busiest month of Lightning payments&#8221; to date.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>You might like: <a href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/binance-to-list-blur-blur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>Blur (BLUR) Will be Listed on Binance<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Both <strong>Apple<\/strong> and <strong>Wallet of Satoshi<\/strong> have yet to respond for further explanation on the matter.
