The three digital money wallets influenced incorporate Bitcoin.com's Bitcoin Wallet, BitPay, and the BitPay-claimed CoPay. Google's arrangement isn't to remark on singular cases, so the web index supplier and Android OS designer hasn't uncovered the thinking behind the expulsion and it's far-fetched they will.

Candid Bitcoin.com CEO and Bitcoin Cash evangelist Roger Ver trusts there's an association with the evacuation and Google's ongoing change to their Google Play Store arrangement forbidding applications that dig for digital forms of money like Bitcoin and Monero. Applications that dig for digital forms of money are entirely taboo, however Google still permits applications that can overseeing crypto mining remotely.
