Samsung to introduce NFT platform within its new smart TVs

[bbc.reporter]

It appears that the development of the NFT market is witnessing its beginnings of going mainstream. I reckon those people that are saying that NFTs are only a bubble might be mistaken. We are not certain how far this new ability of digital ownership might take some industries like the gaming industry, the art industry or also the sports cards trading industry.

I speculate we might see NFT marketplaces, games and tradables being available in other platforms like the Playstation, Xbox and Nintendo. I also speculate some of the largest mainstream game publishers to offer NFTs in their games.



Samsung Electronics announced Monday that its new smart TVs will allow users to purchase non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Specifically, MICRO LED, Neo QLED, and The Frame TV models, which are set to launch sometime this year, will support NFTs.

“With demand for NFTs on the rise, the need for a solution to today’s fragmented viewing and purchasing landscape has never been greater. In 2022, Samsung is introducing the world’s first TV screen-based NFT explorer and marketplace aggregator, a groundbreaking platform that lets you browse, purchase, and display your favorite art — all in one place,” the company told The Verge.

NFT world and metaverse in 2022 I'm sure it will go to moon, now in crypto there are many metaverses appearing following predecessors like (Mana).. hopefully this year will be the year of NFT and metaverse.

Samsung is fast to engage with cryptocurrency and NFT. They are one of strategic institutional investors in Axie Infinity and this introduction of NFT platform into their new smart TVs is another wise step.

As a strategic marketing effort, it will help Samsung to become more popular in crypto community. They will be able to sell more products from laptop, tablet, smart phones to TVs. Cryptocurrency users are quite familiar with mobile devices and they want to have real time connection with cryptocurrency market.

Metaverse NFT is a big trend and Samsung participate in early phase of this trend. So wisely

This is the best time to save money and buy those NFTs in their early stage but I doubt they come at a handy price since those companies are from big-time one, But if it comes from a mystery box, that would be great and everyone can afford it but if they just sold some limited addition NFT items, then that would hurt the small fishes like us because honestly we can't afford it and we don't spend that much for an NFT item. nevertheless, this is good for the market and a healthy way to invest in the early season since those NFTs are destined to spike its price once everyone is talking about it.

Samsung launches NFT platform for smart TVs. South Korean giant Samsung becomes the first major TV manufacturer to add NFT support.
Samsung has presented the lineup of TVs for 2022. The new Neo QLED 2022 and select Smart TV models later this year will include a special section dedicated to gaming. The new models will add support for cloud gaming services, as well as, NFT-platform on which users can buy and sell NFT. That's a wonderful news as there are more and more companies that integrate crypto.

Hope to see they accept other coins not just BTC on their NFT platform.

Samsung itself is an NFT investor through the startups says the article, it made them interested to creating NFT after. It's true we could be wrong in taking NFT as just hype in crypto. The blockchain ownership idea is not something like come and goes and then fade, it's also here to stay.  It's not just for ART NFT coz I heard there will be a music streaming blockchain like Spotify, the musicians will also be on board in the crypto industry.

Not being pessimistic but who the heck will gonna use that kind of smart TV with a pain in the ass remote controller and with added useless feature? Even if you use their newly added NFT thingy, using remote control for choosing your NFT's would be so damn slow 

Samsung as an early adopter for investing in NFT startup is enough though.

[HashingTower]

The reason why some called NFT a bubble is because we keep getting too much NFTs day by day and most of them are nonsense, I can't deny this fact my friend many NFTs will become worthless as time goes on so all I can say to buyers is to be picky, know what you are buying

NFT world and metaverse in 2022 I'm sure it will go to moon, now in crypto there are many metaverses appearing following predecessors like (Mana).. hopefully this year will be the year of NFT and metaverse.

Its already year of nft and metaverse but the booming in my opinion will seen on 2023. Right now every preparations are taken in place. Like most projects are gonna release on middle and end of this year. So expect 2023 a full grown metaverse hype and ecosystem. Even Zuckerberg definitely will roll out meta.

[Williamm07]

Its very clear to see that 2022 for metaverse project won't be that big because 99% of metaverse projects are not finished yet they are all hanging in their beta version till today so not until we see real metaverse in action the hype won't be big

[StarKay]

With Samsung's introduction of NFT platform within its new smart TVs, we should expect rivals to also introduce the feature so that they can stay competitive.
Although I am not expecting a perfect rollout as there might be some challenges that users will experience at first but eventually there will be updates that will improve user experience. Time to find a good metaverse project to invest in as it is gradually becoming mainstream.

Cant wait when I can start earn cryptocurrency and get NFT just for watching TV. We had PCU/GPU mining for a long time, HDD mining was intrudes last year. Now TV mining will start. I will share an idea that will make developer rich - not every TV has a smart tv option and manufactures invented smart tv sticks, adaptors, boxes. Develop, produce tv mining usb stick and you, your kids and your family next century will need nothing to worry about for the rest of their days.

I think this could be the main reason why many millenials as of now are heavily invested to the idea of NFT and metaverse, aside from it’s interesting from their point of view but it’s also because the big companies like samsung that are trying to get into metaverse.
NFT could be a bubble but I think metaverse will become a huge thing in the next decades if big companies decided that it’s worth the investment.
I think in the future NFT that are in game lands gonna be big since you could literally rent some space for advertisements if the game is getting bigger and bigger, I think it makes sense since even nowadays many games are already having some kind of advertisement inside their games. Apple and google will be also joining into the metaverse. it seems like expansion from the major companies are happening right now

[sirminesalot]

It's gonna be interesting when big brand companies are started to join the hype of cryptocurrency, starting from NFT there are already many big company adopted this technology and a lot of world celebrities shouting NFT to their social media.
And the current trends is metaverse, Adidas which is one of the biggest sport and fashion brands already invest on one of metaverse projects.
This year crypto is no joke, there must be something positive news upcoming in near future, mainstream FUDS will be no longer affected the market i'm sure

[K4C]

I think it is the very excellent of the NFTs because that mean that a big  companies are promote these NFT and that is definitely the market of NFT are rise there position day by day and this is the start of Samsung in this act more big big companies want to promote there own NFT so its a very good idea and a green signal for that.

Back then I was planning to buy a Samsung Smart TV but I guess back in the days it was hella expensive and it might not even worth it for me as just an ordinary guy watching TV at home. The extra features ain't worth the extra coins.
Seeing Samsung launching their own NFT platform makes me wonder if it will be even worth it as if many are requesting it. NFT launchers seems to pop up from many popular companies now these days without the community asking it like Ubisoft in their games.

[Furious 7]

The NFT market is still not finished and is still in its early stages so it is possible that they will take advantage of this momentum to penetrate the crypto and virtual worlds.
On the other hand, the metaverse is still a reference so that many companies will take advantage of moments like this to explore in a better direction in the future.
on the other hand this is probably the first big company I know of at the moment to be in NFT, CMIIW.

[sunsilk]

I am imagining how that could happen using our TVs but nevertheless, I'm excited and can't wait to see that be reviewed by some of the people in the community.

It's a continuous development and yeah, NFTs might be a bubble in speculation but with real adoption from companies like this, we might see what really is the true status of it.

[Ararbermas]

Everything here in crypto space is a bubble mate so we can't blamed them. Let's just be thankful if however NFTs is not a bubble or whatever it is that can make the project don't last. but yeah NFT's is getting recognised nowadays because of some popular people as well that already in it and how NFT's explode afterwards and many people obtained good return from it or should i say how stable their income when it comes such projects, that's why it's not surprising why until now it's very optimistic or there are still some popular company that wants to involve in it.

I can't remember when the last time I watch a TV, but that is one noting input from your side regarding the user experience. In another hand, to let users buy and keep NFT within their so-called smart TV, I wonder how the security aspect will look like. Not to mention they are aggregating across multiple marketplaces which it will increase the amount of, let's say user money on that. I guess there's might be a chance a scammer might try to deceive specifically on that, but that only concur if the device gains a userbase, so let's see.
