[Astvile]

This is a huge hype if people will spread this news samsung is a very very big company which competes against apple,if this is real then all samsung users will eventually get interested on bitcoin and go and hop into the scene which will make a hype and price increase in bitcoin

Samsung already interested in Bitcoin technologis long time ago, and another Company as well. Samsung also have Bitcoin mine farm you can read it here https://bitcoinist.com/squire-samsung-asic-bitcoin-mining-chip/
Samsung will embedded crptocurrencies wallet of course it was positive thing, hopefully it will make the price of Bitcoin increased.

It is a win win situation for both crypto and Samsung, Samsung should know that a very large community of crypto enthusiasts equally use their phones and most have to need to download the wallets after buying, but the phone coming pre-installed with a wallet makes things a lot easier by saving the user the need to download and creating some level of popularity of the wallet and makes its marketing easier as well as boost the sale of Samsung phones as more crypto enthusiast will want to identify with the phone being already crypto compliant.

An interesting point about creating mainstream. I think that'll work indeed. But safety is a big question. They claim it's secure but smartphones are vulnerable today.

This is impressive and will have a great impact on crypto sphere.  Many big companies are begining to see the use of cryptocurrency and they are adopting it slowly.  Samsung adoption of cryptocurrency will open way for other big companies to adopt cryptocurrency

It is good to hear that Samsung is taking a much more friendly approach to the crypto-currency, when compared to its arch rival Apple. East Asian companies are more open to new technologies, I guess. I don't own a Samsung smartphone, as I regard them as too expensive. But when the time comes for the purchasing a new one, I'll definitely keep this in my mind.

It has been rumored a couple of months ago that samsung will integrate bitcoin in their smartphones. This is a very good news knowing that bitcoin has reach billions of market cap in the market so which means that samsung could take advantage on the huge money flowing in bitcoin. This means that they will going to take their smartphones to the next level and that is a good thing for a company to adapt the bitcoin system.

It's not just a rumor. Samsung has officially announced it and even put it in some countries for the S10 Galaxy phone. Pilot trials are being conducted in 3-4 countries.

I think if a company like Samsung will certainly get a big positive impact on the crypto world ... I hope the big company will embrace crypto

[Vishnu.Reang]

Being a Korean company, I expect Samsung to be more friendly towards new ideas such as crypto-currency. I googled this news for quite sometime, but it looks as if this one is not yet confirmed. As of now, it is just a rumor. But in case Samsung includes a crypto wallet for the S10, then it is going to be huge. It will be a major boost for the cryptocurrencies in general.

although some people are looking this kind of innovation has still something to improve because they are the first mobile company who uses it, there are something to improve, still it is a good thing because they started it hoping it will have a good effect.

I found this idea interesting in terms of making cryptocurrency easier to buy, store, and more accessible for average mobile phone users. Promoting crypto adoption by a big player such as Samsung can encourage other brands to embrace this innovation. And it definitely will make good for the whole crypto community. But Samsung should pay attention to the security issues because crypto is a very sensitive thing. Digital thieves eye to find the tiniest vulnerability to get your bitcoins.

Many retailers have already started working with cryptocurrency, I read some swiss watchmaker created a watch on blockchain technology. And if one of the largest creators of Samsung electronics joins the community, then, I guess, his colleagues will follow the example. Especially if Microsoft, ConsenSys, Web3 Labs and others will actually run a single coin on its basis, as I heard in news.

it is logical. I like the fact that digital assets can be viewed as a convenient payment method, as well as additional income. let's say taklimakan platform. If you share good analysis of the crypto market, users trust you, then  get new followers and give coins in your wallet. To Samsung will be a queue of those who want to buy a token. Digital currency is modern, convenient, and quickly only remains for more people to create and join such ecosystems.

So far there's no big impact with these improvements but I think soon we will feel that. Yes big companies are now moving, recently the news about Facebook "Global Coin" and maybe some big companies will also follow this. I hope this phone will not be affected by the recent ban on Huawei, maybe samsung really tries to sustain its level above all manufacturer.

Well, so far it’s not weird that Samsung implemented such a thing. It’s not a first company that has done it. I think blockchain will become soon as popular as iPhone nowadays, but I’m afraid it will be more hype than usefulness.

[Fabienne_ayy]

Well, what do you think is the positive impact on the crypto industry, and at the same time what is the negative impact of it. It seems to me that cryptocurrency will be known because it will be use to a product by a big company and it will be on their upcoming latest phone, it will create awareness at the same time it can set aside those negative about crypto.What do you think?

Here is the link: https://www.theblockcrypto.com/2019/01/24/samsung-galaxy-s10-images-show-embedded-cryptocurrency-wallet/

Is here anybody who knows who does the wallet function? Is it good enough?

[michellee]

Why only Samsung? I want all mobile brands to bring these features. In this case, all people will be able to become more aware of cryptocurrency. I thank the Samsung company for thinking so well about cryptocurrency. For having such a beautiful feature. I'm going to buy a Samsung S10 soon...

There will be many more mobile phone company that will follow Samsung to embedded cryptocurrency wallet into their phone. But if the price is too expensive, then I don't think that most people will buy that phone just because they have an integrated cryptocurrency wallet. People can use a cheap mobile phone and install another wallet address which supporting altcoin and erc-20 without any trouble.

I do not think that users of such a phone will keep a lot of crypto currency on the wallet , it is not safe .But on the other hand , knowing the technique of Samsung should be all at the best level.I believe this is a marketing move for most cryptocurrency users and a good smartphone.

[Congyang]

I admire smartphone technology like Samsung when embedding a cryptocurrency wallet on Smartphonbe, but I still doubt whether it can guarantee the security of the wallet on a smartphone. if indeed security can be the best I will give appreciation to Samsung.
