this is meaningless unless there is a demand for it and only if people actually use it! for instance we need some stats from these stores to see whether people even used any of these cryptocurrencies to buy stuff from them or not.
for example did anyone at all went to these stores and paid 1400 XRP to buy a flat screen TV for instance? it doesn't seem like something people which are only investing in these altcoins for their pump and dumps do.

It is like a retailer store. They can accept whatever they want and in this case payment processing firms is facilitating everything for them. Coppay or BitPay are doing the job and stores are getting paid in fiat. Win - win  |

These news makes a huge effect in whole crypto world. Some of the reputated companies like samsung, and mcdo are now slowly adopting crypto currency, it can be give them more easier to make an transactions when they start using this, or they see some potentials to use crypto. If this all happen world wide, prices of every leading crypto currencies will rise.

It sure might not mean much if people don't use it, but hey. If they put up signs about them accepting BTC and other crypto, it's still publicity I guess. Not as good as we're hoping but it's something. |

"Turn on Future' they said, Finally samsung made it officially. This is a great news for the bitcoin community especially for those who uses bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as mode of payment. This will greatly affect the market for bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, Ripple, Dash,Nem and Steem. I guess they already seen the potential of digital assets and so they come up with that. |

The excellent logging of the world of crypto may be some of the big companies according to samsung steps.
with the acceptance of many large companies will have a big effect on bitcoin prices. soon crypto world will dominate the world with the ease of doing transactions.

Awesome!!! This is Grate News, Samsung Is Big Company This News Give Big Help for Cryptocurrency World!
the company (Samsung) is not accepting cryptocurrncy payments. it is the third party stores that are accepting bitcoin, etc as payment. it is like saying Samsung is now accepting Euro as payment because a shop in a European country has opened! not to mention Baltic states population is too small (6 million according to google) it is not going to change anything at all. |

This made me feel very surprised. There is a lot of news at the beginning of the year talking about SAMSUNG wanting to use cryptocurrency as a form of payment. I thought it was just rumors and not the exact news. But today I thought I was wrong.

Definitely! That's what kinda baffled me too. I only expected BTC and probably BCH(depending what Samsung's opinion on the hard fork is). But NEM? ETH? STEEM? They aren't even made to be a currency; also taking into consideration that like you said, they don't even have mobile wallets. Looks like the person in charge doesn't know much and just simply accepted some other cryptos that he/she/they're invested in. |

BTC is legal in Korea, so many of Samsung's physical stores will continue to accept cryptocurrency payments! Star is also preparing to allow online stores to support cryptocurrency settlements in the short term.
This will promote the development of cryptocurrency, which is a very good news for the market!
