Galaxy s10 Blockchain Mode Won't Include Bitcoin?

[Mikwik]

Is this true? If that is the case many people that want to includes Bitcoin will be dissapointed including me. I thought that already been include Bitcoin and other crypto currencies there and not only Ethereum. The Samsung should clarify this then.

Like others have said, the Galaxy S10 will not be connecting to blockchains - it will store private keys with encryption. The bitcoin blockchain is just too massive to be downloaded onto a phone. However, as the Lightning Network improves, I'd like to see lite client integration with it by major providers.

whats the point of downloading the whole blockahain into a phone ? your right size is freakin huge but most importantly , most phone users will not care of that feature if ever it will be included  .  its already fine if the phone supports a hardware wallet because that is more important or useful than the blockchain  itself .  though i agree on you when you say lightning network integration because ln seems more lighter and will also be useful .

I don't take that too seriously because I don't want to buy Samsung s10

I cannot buy something with an expensive price and only have a fewer benefits for me because I don't want to spend my money to buy something that is not worth my life. There is so many cheap android phone which almost have the same things with Samsung s10, and you can buy it at a cheaper price.

This question may sound stupid, but...
Why people even care about the built-in Samsung wallet? Almost every major crypto wallet have apps for android and ios so is that a big problem to install one? IMHO that news are way overhyped.

It seems to me that Samsung realized that the crypto-sphere will develop, and in order for the company to remain in trend, you need to cooperate with this topic! Bravo samsung! I am sure that all companies will soon begin to copy this, like Samsung.

This would be very strange business decision of Samsung so I don't think this is how it's going to work. But on the other hand I don't understand why so much excitement on the mobile phone feature. I don't believe that this built in wallet will be something that will motivate people to buy that phone or that it will be better than already available all kind of Bitcoin wallets. It will probably be more cosmetic features than real wallet where you would keep your coins.

It is just a wallet for storing your cryptocurrencies, it is won't include any blockchain.

Basically went to my local Samsung store today to play around with this phone. They had the S10, S10+ and the S10e. I played around with the S10 which cost $1250 CAD.

Unfortunately for the life of me, I couldn't find any type of Blockchain, Ethereum or Bitcoin wallet anywhere on the phone. It has some tutorials at the menu which can show you some cool features but Blockchain wasn't mentioned anywhere. Neither was it in the Knox area, or the default Samsung apps.

Searching "blockchain" only found the Blockchain.info default wallet from the Play store. Hence I don't think this will lead to a high price boost since I can't find this blockchain wallet when I actually was looking for it , why would someone who isn't looking for it, find it, learn about Blockchain and then go and buy some ETH or BTC?

It would be a total disappointment to all the crypto users that wanted to have this new Samsung S10 that they first thought would have the Bitcoin in its blockchain mode. The Samsung company should clarify this first if it is true.

There is a rumour that Samsung Galaxy s10 phone blokchain mode will not include Bitcoin and its Blockchain. It will include only for ETH and ETH based tokens. Is it true? If it is, then I think it will be big wrong. What do you think about it? And I guess it may affect Ethereum price well...

Can you give any proof of this news ?  If Samsung does not support bitcoin then that will be a huge failure for them. You cannot claim a phone to be blockchain compatible when there is no support for bitcoin itself.  I think Samsung should include Bitcoin in the S10 model.

It is just a wallet for storing your cryptocurrencies, it is won't include any blockchain.

Then why they claim it to the first blockchain phone ?
Bitcoins and other crypto currencies can be stored in any andriod or iOS phone. You can download Bread wallet and store you bitcoins in iPhone and it is much secure than Samsung.

[Tepoeng]

I think with a large market share and broad coverage on Samsung it will affect the price of Ethereum a little more
