Good to see big players making blockchain moves, though they're not really accepting cryptocurrencies as we know them, rather instead using blockchain to make their own internal payments system more effective. Either way, it's a step in the right direction and something we should be happy about.

Good news again LG one of the world most popular electronic company accepting blockchain technology which is an automatic acceptance of cryptocurrency such as bitcoin and the rest, this will further strengthen the acceptability of cryptocurrency by the general public as a mode of online payment without third party.

Good to see big corporation were interested to adopt blockchain technology but if they really do that but do not mean they will automatically use cryptocurrency and we have to see further informations regarding these statement that they really adopted blockchain or this is only planning for next future from their company and in my opinion i think it's too early if we associated with developing of cryptocurrency

Like what they said reason was " The platform will be based on a cross-carrier blockchain platform called CCPS (cross-carrier payment system). The billing for such purchases would be linked to the client’s direct carrier billing, enabling transactions to be paid through their carrier in their home currency avoiding fees on overseas credit card transactions, while also reducing risks associated with fluctuations of exchange rates and credit card fraud." Therefore, this could be a great to all of us as crypto/Bitcoin enthusiast, isn't?

Does that affect Bitcoin? I think it depends on the interest of LG UPLUS to use blockchain technology without Bitcoin. or both. surely, after blockchain is widely used, crypto is not difficult to know by the general public.

AT&T is on their way to centralizing and perhaps monopolizing the US telecom market with their purchase of Time Warner. With a great deal of effort and resources being invested in centralizing markets, its hard to imagine them inviting new players to participate in US telecom markets who could diminish the monopolistic nature of the centralized market they have strove to create. That said, south korea is supposedly one of the most pro bitcoin and pro crypto nations on earth. They love crypto there. South korea could become a major hub of crypto finance/trading in the future. It could make sense for telecoms to want to ally themselves with what they perceive to be a future shift in power. Perhaps they would prefer to delegate the development process intended to compete with paypal, square, apple payments, etc. I would be interested to know what the nature of this relationship is, should this news turn out to be true.

IMO this wouldn't change much for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. As time passes, the term 'blockchain' becomes vaguely used and largely dissociated from bitcoin, making it hard for the laymen to recognize that it originally came from bitcoin and not really the brainchild of giant capitalist companies. It might make things better for LG but not really for bitcoin and its ecosystem. The blockchain slowly deviates from cryptocurrencies and is slowly making its way to the global economy by being embedded within companies' services and whatnot. It's great, but there's really no beneficial effect of it whatsoever for bitcoin.

Thats a great news. Great boost for blockchain to be more known in public. LG is adapting a less hassle mode payment and that will encourage more people to subscribe.

I don't see it as a great news. There are notable big companies that promote and use blockchain heavily, but they are for now against Bitcoin. And what LG seems to do is their own blockchain for their own payment solution, something like their own private altcoin, possibly.

A good decision for the cellular companies that they should adopt bitcoin and crypto because in the future crypto will be use more than fiat in the world and most of the people are using crypto for payments and if now LG is the first one to accept bitcoin and use blockchain technology for further use. It will be good to make sure that LG fully use blockchain then other companies will follow the same but they would wait for others. If we use it for overseas payments the users will easily make transaction in it.

It is good that corporations are not waiting for ETF to start taking positive steps to start using blockchain. These moves could perhaps make adoption discussions quicker than expected. I'm optimistic that more will soon turn up to use blockchain.

Once again, I make sure that the blockchain is really a great technology ! But I noticed that the news about the blockchain does not affect the growth of bitcoin although this technology was first created for it !

It's great for recognition and some awareness but in terms of direct influence on bitcoin or other crypto there will be little. A lot of major companies are already using blockchain technology but without cryptocurrencies. IBM being one example.
