Apple isn't avoiding taxes. They pay them in all the countries they operate in. They operate within the legal boundaries of the law and use that to their advantage. Not repatriating money earned abroad is not illegal.

Bitcoin is an unregulated currency being used for illegal activity, including the sale of drugs, firearms, child porn, and people via human trafficking, not to mention being used for money laundering. So yea, there is a high chance of government regulation or crackdown of some kind, if for no other reason than it is a competing currency, which historically doesn't work out too well.

I'm a bit surprised I even had to explain the difference between the two. But then again, that explains your next comment...
