This is indeed another good news for the crypto world. accepting cryptocurrency and blockchain technology bye a giant like Samsung in the world business truly makes a great impact on others too. By the way can you please submit the source link here so that we can read it ?

[davis196]

It woulb be good news,if Samsung accepts crypto payments worldwide,not just in the Baltic countries.
Perhaps they will just test how the system will work in a small region and ,based on the results,they will further implement crypto payments across the EU and globally.
OP,there`s no such term as "blockchain payment".

[PsylockReborn]

For better understanding regarding OP's topic you can try to check this link.

https://usethebitcoin.com/samsung-said-it-will-start-accepting-cryptocurrency-payments/

It woulb be good news,if Samsung accepts crypto payments worldwide,not just in the Baltic countries.

I concur with you on this since Samsung products are available worldwide and it would be convenient to crypto users to try purchase Samsung products using crypto. Hope that they will implement such payment method worldwide in the near future.

[aoluain]

I was a bit skeptical of this announcement but Yes, its true >
https://coinjournal.net/samsung-accepts-crypto-payments-in-three-baltic-states/

"... will be able to purchase Samsung smartphones, tablets, laptops, TV sets, and more with cryptocurrency."

"... accepting crypto payments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin, Dash, NEM, and Steem."

This is great news indeed, it can only be positive for crypto and
may help to enfirce the fact that some crypto was designed as
a currency. Personally I would use this service by CopPay and
Samsung if it was available to me.

Thanks for the links.. It really escape my mind to include the link of the source when writing my post

[IndigoRed]

I truly applaud the big companies who are daring enough to shake the status quo and accept bitcoin as payments. This can help pave the way for the general public to start trusting in cryptocurrency and accepting it as new form of currency.

[Herbert2020]

this was fake news, Samsung denied any kind of partnership with this shady payment processor called CopPay yesterday. you can read about it here:
https://www.newsbtc.com/2018/07/24/another-fake-partnership-as-samsung-denies-coppay-crypto-payments-deal/

and the funny part is the stores in Baltic state do NOT accept bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency payments at all. i don't know where this news even came from. was it the shady service called CopPay trying to scam or gain fake popularity?

Someone just made such post in few days ago based on that same fake news. This is part of the scheme for the cryptoc community to make bitcoins look like future currency which is receiving endorsement from big companies.

bitcoin doesn't need such shenanigans but altcoins do.
not to mention that bitcoin is already being accepted as payment directly by some big names such as Microsoft, Dell,... and there are millions of small merchants all around the world that are accepting bitcoin as payment.

this was either an advertisement for altcoins or an advertisement for that particular service which to be honest seems mostly shady.

[ASUS7]

Samsung's greatness and progress are undoubted, if they join the blockchain technology, it will increase the crypto market in the eyes of the world.

[Kakmakr]

Please stop posting about this, it is already confirmed that this is fake news. In any way, why should we be happy if a big company like SamSung starts to accept Bitcoin as a payment option, via a third party payment processor? The whole idea is to stay anonymous and all these third party payment processors, destroy your pseudo anonymity.

Anyone posting "congratulation" type posts after this, should be reported to the mods, because they did not care to read the posts up to this post. 

[Pursuer]

The whole idea is to stay anonymous and all these third party payment processors, destroy your pseudo anonymity.

not at all. the idea of bitcoin is a lot of things, being anonymous is not one of them.

not to mention that using a payment processor is not changing anything about how anonymous you are. (assuming Samsung accepts bitcoin payments) you would still be going on the same site or same physical shop and make the payment and whether bitcoin directly or through a payment processor you are still providing the same amount of information to that shop. the difference is that using a payment processor (a legit one like BitPay not this crappy one in this fake news) makes it easy for the shops to set it up and also makes it possible for them to receive fiat while accepting bitcoin so they are not affected by the volatility.

[Wendigo]

Wasn't the same old news posted here some days ago? Anyways these crypto news sites need to stop churning out articles about the first rumour they have heard of and start double checking their facts and sources. I think this CopPay company wanted to get free publicity by announcing a bogus partnership with Samsung and now when the jig is up they said there had been no such deal haha. What a stupid marketing stunt that was.

[nickwen]

Yes, I recognize that this is true news. I have seen this information on a television channel. The fact is Samsung has adopted Bitcoin and crypto. I just hope that Apple will also accept Bitcoin and crypto like Samsung

[casternetwork]

Thank you for sharing this great news with those who love and trust Bitcoin. Continued is the good news coming to the crypto market. And today, the price of the market has increased a lot. I think this is a sign that the market is gradually recovering

[taeewo]

Where is the source of this news?  And if this actually true  Its a great news we all have been waiting for and Samsung should not accept it only on a country it should be accepted world wide.

[Sea_Car]

This is a smart move by Samsung crypto currencies are  here to stay the faster companies accept them as a way of payment the better.

[asevila]

There is good news to customers in the Baltic nations of #Latvia, #Estonia and #Lithuania,as #Samsung (one of the largest technology company in the world) has annouced to accept crypto and blockchain payments in the region using the Lithuanian-based payment platform, CopPay
I hope more major platform continue to accept digital currency payment.

Good news, Samsung is a really big company. I hope more and more companies start to accept crypto and blockchain-based payments.

When I hear the phrase "Samsung has blah blah blah.." My mind immidiately thinks that most people will not care. But once Apple makes a similar announcement, people gets crazy about it. Ahahaha! So Technology-based companies finally starts  to adapt the crypto-world which means there will be more altcoins, BTC price will rise even further, more people will end up crying for stolen digital funds, more scammers. *Sigh* But overall it's good for us early adapters.

[Separate_Bass]

This is a smart move by samsung but why cann't it make it worldwide because its products are everywhere?

[adejoke444]

This is such a great , wonderful and best news for this week. looking forward for other company to join by accepting Bitcoin also as payment in universe.

Haha I was thinking the same thing. It's small time news until Apple decides to pick it up these days. Everything revolves around the apple.

It sure would be nice if their Apple-pay went global by using bitcoin to sidestep regulators. Not likely, but it would be nice.

I think it'll be a slow trend of early adopters continuing for a while until a big giant wakes up and decides to take it on. I heard somewhere Amazon were thinking about accepting it...?

More and more mainstream use will encourage safer practices I hope and fewer scammers. Then we'll see also regulatory groups stepping in too.

[TallDragonfly]

Good move by samsung but why cann't it make it worldwide because its products  are everywhere ?.

[Amokomowo2005]

Why only acceptable bitcoin  in just this country?  Samsung is used World wide and so should  be extended to all countries .

[Wendigo]

But how will Samsung know who has bought what and how are they going to send you your stuff if you have paid with Bitcoin without revealing your name and shipping address? I don't think you could pick your items up at a store without showing your ID card first either.
I doubt Samsung will ever accept Bitcoin as payment directly, because the value is so volatile that it would be a huge liability for them to hold it as is. Payment processors like BitPay minimize the risks for merchants wiling to include Bitcoin in their stores. And anonymous shopping with Bitcoin is a myth by the way.

[cipherb]

Yes this is the good news for cryptocurreny and its future. Because brand like Samsung are accepting payment as crypto then its impact will be so much for many companies who are planing to accept bitcoin but also may Merchants,travel companies are accepting cryptocurrencies so new revolution have started for digital currency payment.

And then here comes a very good news again , as I am very happy whenever I hear something positive about the bitcoin because I saw the time when bitcoin was in lots of controversy and no one was ready to legalise bitcoin and moreover all the countries wants to end bitcoin but now we are here when there are countries who has legalised bitcoin and now very happy with their decision like a luxury car company in Florida is accepting bitcoin in exchange of their cars and now the Samsung company is accepting bitcoin, a very good news.

That is a great news! People with bitcoin can already purchase Samsung items. I am going to tell this great news to my friends.

good news' of course. hopefully in every country receive payment crypto and not just samsung only. the future of crypto will be better of course

[kopijos]

samsung as a big company can already accept payment using bitcoin maybe in some time to come will be untouched in various countries. I hope not only samsung who accept payment with bitcoin but also other big companies and hopefully can happen.

[bloodyvio]

Samsung has already denied this information, if it is not, then correct me

I thought at first you were joking
but after finding out the truth, you're right
Samsung has denied rumors about accept crypto and blockchain payment
source: https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2018/07/23/samsung-coppay-cryptocurrency-baltics/
i think reasonable because crypto price is very unstable
it can go up but it can go down

Well if this true it's good news for all of us also to all crypto users that using Samsung brand because it means they looking forward about cryptocurrency to make their users easily purchase their products.

[swaggerkeme]

Please what is the source of  your news. I haven't read this anyway in the news or Samsung's website. The news does not look accurate.
Am pretty sure the world will soon begin to appreciate Cryptos when big companies like Samsung accept crypto as mode of payment

[minime0105]

This is a smart move by samsung but why cann't it make it worldwide because its products are everywhere?

It is a smart move if not tactical. I think the reason Samsung limited its products has to do with how the governments perceive crypto as payment because otherwise Samsung would have to deal with legal issues.

[Gabali126]

Samsung adopting cryptocurrency for its trade is very remarkable. Let's see if other electronic giants such as LG, Panasonic, Sony, etc will also accept crypto.

[mfyilmaz]

lets give the money to those who work hard for it... crypto will change the world for a better thanks to satoshi... samsung as a major global player accepting cryptocurrencies will make a big difference and it will make the market more stable as more people will be involved in crypto and this will cause bigger volume and with volume will come more acceptance... I wanna live in a world where I can buy my kebap with bitcoin... I hope this day will come...

[deafmaster]

This is exciting news. Somehow bitcoin is getting more renowned and accepted. Thanks for the info.

[silmvic]

This is a smart move by samsung but why cann't it make it worldwide because its products are everywhere?

You are very much right. Am a big fan of SAMSUNG products but my challenge is always getting the original products that have warranty in case of any damage. Once they start collecting Bitcoin for their products, i will be so relaxed to place order of their tablet directly from the official website without fear.

Pls, in case of any better updated news, pls keep us posted on this thread

[cassius66]

This is really great news, but not so surprising since crypto is so popular in South Korea.

[Equity0924]

I think that is a really good news. What country supports samsung receiving bitcoin payments?

[BitcoinPanther]

There is good news to customers in the Baltic nations of #Latvia, #Estonia and #Lithuania,as #Samsung (one of the largest technology company in the world) has annouced to accept crypto and blockchain payments in the region using the Lithuanian-based payment platform, CopPay

Quite a noteworthy news so to say for the crypto economy.

And i do guess that a lot of big brands will slowly start to adopt the global wide crypto payments.  I think there is no other way but to embrace the growing popularity (and usefulness) of cryptocurrency specially with the sheer buing power of top currencies like bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, etc.

Perhaps the blockchain technology appealed to them as much too though i'm pretty sure that their ERP is centralized nonetheless, sales and payments could still be beneficiaries of this transparent and immutable digital ledgers.

And i'm with you as you ended your post with high hopes for the continual acceptance of many for digital currency payments.

[james_Oscar1]

Perhaps samsung system will accept cryto and blockchain paymet in the world soon. Waiting for it

[larkinvain]

Yes, those countries are lucky. Samsung made a very good decision where facebook is confusing about cryptocurrency, twitter banned crypto ads. I hope within two years, most of the country will have the crypto payment services. If bitcoin transactions time and fee reductions, and if bitcoin become less volatile then we can see Amazon or other e-commerce site accepts bitcoin payment.

[hdtqisg]

Great info! I would like to have more support systems for bitcoin and altcoin.
I think digital money will become the international payment system!

[bitcoin31]

I like samsung but NOW I think Im in love witb this company, because they accepted bitcoin and by doing this they advertise also bitcoin to other costumer who are using samsung and big chance to see a lot of samsung user use bitcoin in the future. Good job samsung more investor for both.

[witchman]

At first I thought this information was a bit skeptical but later on I did some research on it and got sure about the authenticity. This is certainly a good news for all the crypto users worldwide.

You are right to be sceptical. 'Samsung' stores are franchised private businesses. As such if the business wants to take bitcoin, it can.

[ayiaye]

this is good news again if a giant company like samsung accepts cryptocurrency payments. after the start of many large companies that receive payments through cryptocurrency. this will lead to a growing popularity in the community not to doubt it anymore and will become a new currency in the future, if this really happens.

[adhikari98]

It is a rumour and not true that Samsung had entered a partnership with obscure Lithuanian blockchain startup, CopPay, that would make it possible for customers of the electronics giant in three Baltic states to pay for in-store purchases with cryptocurrency. The supposed partnership was announced through a post on CopPay’s Medium blog, which has since been deleted. For more information

https://cryptovest.com/news/no-crypto-payments-for-samsung-devices-in-the-baltics-coppay-admits/

[D3m1r4wanti]

samsung accepts payments and purchases its products with bitcoin, which I know samsung has made excellent chips that will be used as chips for bitcoin mining.
but I do not know more about the news, whether in the end samsung accept payment with bitcoin or not

[BitGunner]

I think that Apple will follow the example of Samsung and will do the same soon. to my mind, this will happen in the nearest futue 2018-2020. I think that the blockchain payment has many benefits

[DatchRoem]

As usual, the Samsung is one step ahead of its competitors. By the way, once the Samsung will support crypto and blockchain payment, they know quickly will understand they will become ubiquitous.

[amusanmikel2]

Great!!!
Let's hope iPhone does the same.

[a.kaetana]

Confirmed fake, sorry. Though it would be awesome for adoption to have such famous and big company as confirmed user, but no. Samsung denied this info.

[jozymens7]

This is indeed a good news for the ecosystem but sometimes for people to really understand and also accept it as the truth you need to state the source or give us the source.

If this news is true, then that seems like good news. It means that people are beginning to put a little bit of faith in cryptocurrencys. Samsung is a household name, this just may be the small start of a big step that will lead to greater adoption of cryptocurrencies.

[Zigzagkuy]

Is that real news? if true of course it would be very good for all of us to keep using crypto. And if samsung accepts it then it will dominate the rise for the crypto itself. Because it will have a positive impact for the news. And let us not have a negative impact on crypto.

[Zainal-baguz]

that's great news. because it will be a fresh breeze for the bitcoin world to become better and more advanced so that it can make many people become interested to invest in bitcoin .

[RadiontLoss]

thank you very much for sharing this news with us, it is actually a wonderful news that a big company like Samsung is now accepting crypto and blockchain at their payment policy , hopefully with the passes of time cryptpcurrency will face more improvement and success 

[listoncrypto]

Renowned big companies when they accept payments in crypto currency, it is a good sign for cryptos. Crypto can easily make the place available to the people. People's confidence increases on cryptos. Samsung did a similar job.

[easybtcearn2017]

Samsung is one of the biggest tech company, and if they accept crypto, it will be a great inspiration to other company to accept crypto and blockchain payment.

[voltagecrypto98]

From my view I agree with you on this since Samsung products are accessible worldwide and it would be suitable to crypto users to try purchase Samsung products using crypto. Hope that they will apply such payment technique worldwide in the near prospect.

[Fafabol]

Samsung company are now accepting cryptos as payment for their smartphones are consider innovative solutions that address the needs of their clients.This will be a big leap for todays technology innovation for a known company globally.Accepting bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for payments is one of the best innovative solutions that are to be done for anyone.

[kingcrypto-the2nd]

wooow this a goodnews for those who stay in this area and also a nice thing for crypto world,we need more acceptance .i have been convincing  and drawing a plan for the company i work with to start accepting crypto.

[Ahmed4200]

Another great news gift was found. This was actually the case and this is the real thing. Its use is safe, time-consuming and unimpressive. It is possible to make payments at home. Because of these versatile advantages, it is acceptable to all people. In the future, its use as a digital currency will grow more widely.

[dinuwanaya]

Truly, I perceive this is genuine news. I have seen this data on a TV station. The truth of the matter is Samsung has received Bitcoin and crypto. I simply trust that apple will likewise acknowledge Bitcoin and crypto like samsung.

[Momoamzad]

undoubtly this is a very big news in this critical period of cryptoworld when countries are banned btc. if samsung would love to accept  blockchain  payment may be thia would bring also another big news from another big company. appreciated. hopefully someday we can also use crypto for paying.

[Anyobsss]

According to this article : https://stocksgazette.com/2018/07/22/samsung-stores-in-baltic-region-now-accepting-crypto-payment/ Samsung itself will not be the one that will accept crypto payment but only its reseller and will only accept seven different cryptocurrencies which include:

Bitcoin (BTC)
Ethereum (ETH)
DASH
NEM (XEM)
STEEM
Ripple (XRP); and
Litecoin (LTC)

This is great but also unfortunate because this would only be in Baltic nations. Hope that this would also be in my country because it will really be convenient.

[laiya94]

Wow that's a good news, If SAMSUNG state official about there cryptocurrency acceptance I think the market will rise in considerable amount.

[staradvincula]

There was no partnership happened between Samsung Company and CopPay. There's also a story came up that Samsung will be accepting Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Dash, Nem and Steem as payment. The rumor is "not true" according to the company's official response. Anyway, this post made by CopPay's Medium Blog has already been removed.

The Samsung itself will not accept crypto payment and only its re-sellers have decided to accept crypto payment which i think is not a best move as crypto are very volatile and it could only lead them to losses.

That may be case , the samsung company does not directly accept cryptocurrency directly as paynents but through their authorized sales agent ,that could also be situations ,but at least if there are crypto holders who want to purchase the samsung appliances and gadgets could still be cotter by the payments of cryptos through their agents thats also great.

[len23]

That is a good news indeed.I hope here in the country where I lived now will accept crypto and block chain payments for Samsung company because I like to buy new phone so that I can use my coins.

[boakyei]

It is not true that samsung announces to accept crypto news. There hasn't been any official release from the company so I don't see why the bitcoin community should celebrate about this.

[Sergexzx]

Thanks for sharing the news!

[SheldonLang]

I heard the news before. It’s a great news for this market. Day by day this markets popularity increasing and many companies are accepting this market for payment.

[biskitop]

firstly, it must a big brand or a big company that has to accept payments with crypto to gain the trust of everyone. after that, all online stores, could just use crypto as a means of payment.

[raddish]

This will be a great news to the crypto space, a big giant like samsung and a big population is using samsung smartphone. Increasing the awareness of crypto and users should not be a big problem when moving on.

There are couples of articles in the internet about this but I don't know if this news is true. You can read this site's article here in this LINK.

But from the google search that I did, there are no official statements from Samsung. We can't really rely on this article unless it is backed by some big names in the company. For now, let's just stick that it is still not true.

Its not true by any means, but this community doesn´t seem to care. Its still great news for them.

In food processing industry they install a belt, that massages tummy of chicken and therefore calms them, while they are hanging and heading to rolling knife... Its very similar, whats is going on here. No real breaktrought news is available, therefore fakes are produced, to keep enthusiasts .... enthusiastic. It´s over soon, and by "over" I mean BTC falling at least 10 times.

  If this news are true it would really help to cryptoland to recover and widely know around the globe ,,about the real essence use of cryptocurrencies coin in the market ,it also really amaze for the country of latvia,Estonia,and Lithuania to accept  blockchain technology since it was a famous technology for samsung.

[khan_kashi]

great news thanks for sharing.

[heassy]

"If Samsung accepts worldwide crypto payment, beside the Baltic countries it will give us more hope. But they are accepting crypto in baltic country as a test I think. They want to know that how blockchain work. Within a short time crypto industries will get the acceptance all over the world I hope.
 "

[SlaveKing]

This will make a notable change in Baltic nations as well as Europe and Asian investors will be more likely to rely on Crypto-currencies as gian Corporate are coming towards Crypto-currencies. It will be more good if other than Copay come forward to come partnerships and negociations with Corporate giants in regards of transaction issues.

[SlaveKing]

I have no idea about that. But if it  works then Samsung also kept a huge contribution to be easier crypto to all. For what it’s secure?

[JasonRosado]

That's a great news. As the big institutions like Samsung adopt the cryptocurrency, more people will be interested to invest in cryptocurrency. This will definitely bring a positive impact on the cryptocurrency market. Samsung is adopting Lithuanian based payment system known as CopPay.

I always hear good news about collaboration of cryptocurrency and Samsung. I wish this move by Samsung can give boost to their company popularity and sales, so that other leading technology company will be encourage to adopt and promote also the use of crypto as payment. This good news can also give extra motivation to crypto investors and can give boost to the crypto market as well.

There is good news to customers in the Baltic nations of #Latvia, #Estonia and #Lithuania,as #Samsung (one of the largest technology company in the world) has annouced to accept crypto and blockchain payments in the region using the Lithuanian-based payment platform, CopPay
I hope more major platform continue to accept digital currency payment.

This is the proof that the popularity of bitcoin will explore around the globe. And I think bitcoin is not far fom the speculations that someday bitcoin replace fiat.because many people are using this as payment.

[spyderbilt]

the right step for bitcoin and samsung, when bitcoin is popular all over the world can join samsung which is now a major electronics company in the world. this can make samsung companies easier to grow if they accept bitcoin as payment.

[zynan]

Thanks for sharing this good news, this is another milestone for bitcoin's popularity. I believe that in the future many big companies will also accept bitcoin and other digital currencies. Bitcoin's popularity is spreading around the globe. We are really in this generation of blockchain technology.

[JohnHendry]

Yes, this news did make the line on a few other posts. This only means that the giants in the market are realizing the worth and wants to be a part of it, so that when the world revolutionizes, they will have their stake on it too.

Is it serious? Is it true?, well it is a good news for us. Here in our community. Another achieve and opportunity with Bitcoin it is. It is nice to know that Samsung( one of a successful and largest technology) is accepting Bitcoin a mode of payment. I believe there is more companies out there who are will accepting bitcoin because of this news.

[markgayamo]

I heard about that news that Samsung announce that they will accept crypto and blockchain as a payment, some countries are using mostly Samsung as a number one mobile phones and gadgets and putting apps that using crypto coins as payments for transaction would be great. This is just another great project by Samsung to collaborate and partnership with crypto companies that have a big project for the users of the future.

[Akenosi]

This made my day meaning we should be expecting more established snd large companies too to accept the use of  bitcoin ,the future of online payment.

[hungsanh2512]

It is very good news for Bitcoin when Samsung accepts payment, showing that Bitcoin is growing and getting people's understanding. Expectations Samsung will continue to expand its Bitcoin payments in other countries.

That's a good news for those in baltic nations, there are two that is interested already such as samsung and HTC. But why are we not aware of this coppay? I searched for it and found out that it actually launched an ICO last year and we never even have idea how it did. Its token was never listed on coincap, it probably isn't also listed on any exchange too.

This is really a good news not just for the citizens of those countries but for bitcoin itself. This only shows the continuous growth and wide spread of bitcoin. Being accepted by a well known brand of technology serves as a huge step for the advancement of bitcoin. This may probably be done also by Samsung's competitors and may affect also other kinds of technology. We can say that bitcoin is successful if all countries around the globe accepted it.

[AlvinJetton]

This just shows how popular the market is becoming. The companies are speculating that crypto will rule the market and this will replace fiat. Hence, they are making their mark in the market by accepting BTC as a means of payment.

[TravisField]

The news is fake, Samsung has recently released their statement. But, there are other giants who are already accepting BTC as a paying method. DELL, BMW, Microsoft are some of them. So, not adding a BTC payment method won’t affect the market in any way possible.

If big companies start accepting bitcoin means it gives a good single about bitcoin to non-bitcoin users. Because these are big companies and if they are accepting BTC as a payment then slowly BTC user rate will grow and indirectly it will create a more demand for bitcoins and prices also will slowly move up. Bitcoin was more popular in grey market and in gambling market but entering into mainstream businesses is very good news to bitcoin holders.

[Sadlife]

I thought they've already accepted bitcoin ive heard some news about it this past few months but it doesn't matter as long as bitcoin is progressing and being accepted by merchants and countries and now companies started to recognize it as a good payment method for commerce.

[Testament28]

That sounds great! Imagine one of the largest company when it comes technology already acknowledged bitcoin as a payment for their products and services? This is a good opportunity for both bitcoin and samsung them selves. I just wish it would also be accepted here in my country.

[edzleochico6]

Its a good news to all samsung user,I think digital money will become the international payment system!

[warning_btc]

Very good news what this kind giant accept cryptos.
Crypto trading is dead already.
We on the next step of accepting cryptos world wide, need more companies who accept crypto how payment and then we can beat next step of evolution.

When I hear the phrase "Samsung has blah blah blah.." My mind immidiately thinks that most people will not care. But once Apple makes a similar announcement, people gets crazy about it. Ahahaha! So Technology-based companies finally starts  to adapt the crypto-world which means there will be more altcoins, BTC price will rise even further, more people will end up crying for stolen digital funds, more scammers. *Sigh* But overall it's good for us early adapters.

   Wow, a great news for crypto or Bitcoin investors in this country, more and more country are opining there business arm  and accept the Bitcoin or crypto in their business financial market. we are looking forward that more and more will follow thru, this indicate the growing acceptance for Bitcoin digital crypto currency transaction (globally awareness for Bitcoin).

[sumanto]

I think it is a very good development because samsung really understand the development of increasingly sophisticated technology finally samsung choose to accept payment using cryptocurrency and using blockchain technology hopefully more and more platforms are starting to receive payment using cryptocurrency.

[btc_angela]

Its a good news to all samsung user,I think digital money will become the international payment system!

Well that's what bitcoin real usage is, to be the main payment method across the globe because its P2P and without anyone in the middle. Also I still say that we are still behind and struggling to reach that goal, we are making a slow progress and I think in the next 5-10 years it will really happen. Regarding Samsung though, I'm not sure if this is fake news or what, but at least it attracts attention which is good in my opinion. There might be some interested investors, new blood to pump the market again. So let's see how it goes.

[MatthewNaccarato]

The news has been acknowledged by Samsung and they have denied of accepting Bitcoin as a payment method. However, I think It would be a great move by Samsung even if they implemented the system. It would definitely give them an edge over their competitors. Companies like, Microsoft, Playboy, BMW have already announced of accepting Bitcoin payment officially.

[Mary Birkin]

Wow! If such giant accepts payment by cryptos, a massive adoption of the cryptocurrency will happen soon! Good news, really!

[SmartMetro54]

This is a good news indeed. Samsung has lots of users around the world so there will be a chance of more people getting in btc.

[MightyTulip32]

Its a very great news. Both will get benefit by this step.

[BestBoardroom36]

It will be great news for all samsung users around the world. It will get easier to access btc.

[suemendez25]

I think this is a major stepforward for bitcoin since Samsung is a very influence tech company. Surely other companies will try to follow this because nobody will want to be left behind right?

[Juliedarwin]

It's a Great news from all of the Samsung users I think. Coz when Samsung accept crypto and a blockchain payment more people will going to be happy and contented because for now and for The follow  up days its a no more hassle and it's easy to access btc.

[AliciaAndrews12]

This could be a good move for Samsung. If they put Bitcoin technology to the blockchain, maybe people who own bitcoin can choose to pay directly on it. This gives Samsung a better business return than before.

[EffectiveScorpio657]

Now a day Samsung is the number one selling phone brand and they choose bit coin it is really a big news and it seems that bitcoin will early start coming back.
