Galaxy s10 Blockchain Mode Won't Include Bitcoin?

[Nadziratel]

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...

i know that rumors about samsung that will use the blockchain system, but until right now i dont know about the fact from the samsung or the official news about samsung, is it true samsung s10 will use blockchain network or not? i think it will very good move when we can use cryptocurrency in our phone

[franky1]

samsung wont include ANY blockchain
samsung wont include ANY cryptocurrency node software

samsung never claimed to offer the opposite of above

samsung WILL include a special encrypted memory chip allowing a special place to store sensative data such as private keys, and this means any private keys. including bitcoin

instead of just reading the title of forums, or media stories. people should try researching.
hint: samsung knox

I think is a huge mistake. They should include bitcoin and blockchain as well. Price of both coins will be great. @Nadziratel

[NeuroticFish]

Hardware wallets include only keys. S10 will be a hardware wallet. So no blockchains. And no reason to "skip out" Bitcoin. No reason at all.
So don't just spread news rumors you don't understand, news meant only to pump certain coins.

It's just a gossip' bitcoin will still be a bitcoin. If it is Samsung should prepare an update every week for this project.

Do you think bitcoin will crash and they just don't want to take the risk having their customers complain?

From what i’ve read, Samsung has stated that they will include an encrypted memory chip that will allow to store sensitive date (in this case it could also mean bitcoin), but they never stated that they would include some sort of cryptocurrency software. 
i, personally think it’s a matter of time. Couple of years, and and we will see this in almost every other smartphone.

Or it could only be an upgraded software for Samsung Pay for all we know, but I'm also inclined to think that S10 will be a hardware wallet for some cryptocurrencies. So instead of spending $100-$300 on a new hardware wallet, shell out a couple hundred more and you'll get a flagship phone that can do more things than one--though phones are more susceptible to thefts and losses, anyhow.

According to the information I read, it's just a personal wallet to hold virtual currencies. This is also a positive signal when a big company like Samsung is interested in the virtual money market. But we still don't know if that personal wallet will be useful. I think this is still their original trial

I don't know, maybe the op is up to something. At least, there truly are articles by newsbtc.com and cryptodaily.co.uk about Samsung somehow supporting Ethereum and excluding Bitcoin. They are based on an unboxing video where the guy says it explicitly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XWmczWFLts&feature=youtu.be&t=368. This customer could have just not understood the whole thing, though, I think it's not enough evidence. And it's based on pre-released version, so maybe it's just a temporary thing that they already made a working thing for Ethereum, but not for Bitcoin yet. For now we just have a couple of videos that show that only Ethereum is mentioned in the list of supported cryptos in the built-in crypto wallet. We have to wait for official info before jumping to conclusions.

As of now we do not know yet. But, we just need to wait to their official announcement because it is just a rumor. If this thing is true we might use Galaxy S10 as a cryptocurrency wallet which it can handle Eth based tokens and it will really affect the price of ethereum.

Wait, really? Doesn't it only keep your private keys in special storage? If so, that means they're still going to be exposed online when signing transactions unlike traditional hardware wallets.

I guess it really is a hardware wallet though, strictly speaking; just not a cold one. It's still better than nothing though, I suppose.

Come back here when you have the actual facts. You don't have any links whatsoever in your claim so I think there's nothing to argue here.

[cryptomaster420]

Yep, it won't include it by default, but it should be a relatively trivial task to get it to support it.
The big winner from the Galaxy S10 crypto marketing scheme is Ethereum.

[vintages]

OP,  is there anywhere Samsung made a public announcement that they will include Bitcoin and Blockchain in their product? 'You heard a rumour' glad you called it a rumor. You guys shouldn't let stories like this get you.
Just because Bitcoin symbol was added on Google keyword on iOS does not means that Samsung should follow their lead.
Whether they include it or not, Bitcoin will reach it highest level.

Nope. The biggest in Enjin (ENJ).

That coin has a massive pumped after the news that Samsung will include them in their crypto wallet. But I will speculate that they will include bitcoin in their list, it's the number coin so it doesn't make sense if they will simply left it and will go for Ethereum as the flag bearer for their wallet.

Thanks for clarifying, there are lots of rumours going around about the new device and how it incorporates the blockchain technology.
I for one do not think it would have much of an impact on the cryptocurrency market, it us a huge step, and would attract more interest to the blockchain.
I see it as another rung on the ladder ti mass adoption.

[pixie85]

You don't have to rely on rumors. The phone is already out and people have been testing them and releasing video reviews.
The phone includes what is called blockchain keystore and at the moment it only includes ETH wallet but the whole application even has a similar logo to Bitcoin.

They were releasing this in a hurry and included only one coin to test it out but many other coins will be available in the coming months. Some of them have already been announced. It's only a matter of downloading a software update.

There's no official information that they won't include Bitcoin!

[joniboini]

They can simply roll out an update, or you can simply download a new wallet if you want to. Tbh I don't really think this phone is such a breakthrough, maybe only help in promoting about crypto but not really sure how they can do it if most people already know or hear about crypto, either Bitcoin or Ethereum.

So far I only see this as a pumping news for Enjin though.
