It was really confirmed that Samsung Galaxy S10 will not support Bitcoin? I have heard that it will support also Enjin, but do not understand why it shouldn´t support Bitcoin - the most used cryptocurrency.
Read at least this article:
https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/25/18233131/samsung-galaxy-s10-bitcoin-cryptocurrency-wallet-features

This is one of the proven sources.

Perhaps Bitcoin support will be implemented in future updates Blockchain Keystore. The main thing that the public interest in the new flagship was high, then I think that Samsung implements support for bitcoin.

Even if Samsung don't support bitcoin it is not going to effect any level in bitcoin because crypto currency users know the level of bitcoin and ethereum,maybe they starts their service with ethereum and erc20 tokens later they may get elaborate their services.

It doesn't matter if Samsung support Bitcoin or not. Just what important now is that one of the biggest company in the whole world now was
connected in one of the top altcoins in cryptocurrency, which leads me to buy Samsung S10, and besides ETH according to most of the community here is always next into bitcoin also.

I guess it's their lost if they don't want to include bitcoin in their supposedly wallet. Or maybe including bitcoin is too complicated for them and could potentially compromise the security of their wallet. or maybe they think that there have been a lot of bitcoin wallets already in the market, than it doesn't make any sense for them to include bitcoin. Anyways, as I have said, majority of cyrpto enthusiast is into bitcoin and then prioritising them will be a disaster for Samsung.

Maybe they difficult to set the bitcoin wallet on this phone because is not compatible so they don't put the Bitcoin wallet on there  Grin
But we can still use 3rd party wallet app to store our Bitcoin on S10 and we can bring and use our Bitcoin anytime anywhere...  Cheesy

Or maybe they only support Ethereum, and they don't want to use Bitcoin Grin

Yes, I agree that we could install another wallet in that phone. But I wonder how much the price of that phone? What the advantage of that phone depends on the other phone?
yes Samsung S10 cannot fully manage cryptoqurency in it, including for bitcoin wallets. it is difficult for them to do this but reportedly they will continue to implement this system in the near future. but I'm not sure about this

The fact that a company such as Samsung is taking these steps to introduce crypto wallets (even if the use is limited) to the mainstream will have a positive impact on crypto as a whole. I know for a fact (as I'm included in the example), a lot of people bought BTC for the first time when Cashapp made it so easy to buy on their app.

I like the idea of Samsung being one of the competitive company is now eyeing in blockchain tech. No doubt that they will soon be incorporated with it as Apple I dont think they can be opened to this since they are more conaervative. But I dont want to finish the story since Apple always copy Samsung and therefore they might as well considered this.

This is a very old news but yes it is a great innovation and will help spread about cryptocurrency to more people.  I don't care what wallet was integrated on the phone, the most important thing is the impact it will create in the mind of people

Its true, we should not care about what wallet installed in device but i think its a good start. Samsung is second biggest company in smartphone and if samsung introduce ethereum wallet to their customer, people will knowing about crypto and perhaps interesting to invest. It could be a start of mass adoption

It's very successful for Samsung to make an integrated wallet. I think other phone manufacturers will do so soon. With a wallet integrated in the phone, our crypto coins will be safer. I think BTC support will come to the Samsung wallet as soon as possible.

Most likely, this is due to the large number of tokens that appeared on the ethereum platform and due to the high demand for ethereum itself. In addition, a bitcoin wallet is easy to find and download separately, and such a wallet is still rare. It is also likely that people will more often use this wallet than a bitcoin wallet.

Definitely yes if this truly correct news this is wrong decision from sumsung because butcoin is the king of crypto their is nothing altcoins without bitcoin, hope this news is only a fud news


I don't understand why some are making Samsung S10 supporting Ethereum and not Bitcoin an issue. It's their phone, they can decide which one to support and no to. Just relax, the next thing you know, they'll be supporting Bitcoin too,

It's simply because they ride the opportunity to get huge profits later on

Samsung supports Ethereum as they partnered with Enjin wallet and they are supporting ETH platform. They squeezed almost all the ERC-20 tokens on their mobile wallet and more coins will be supported in future updates. I think this is for the  start and BTC will be included as well.

I think it's because of partnership. Who do you think holds bitcoin? Of course, Satoshi Nakamoto. But the team behind bitcoin is unknown. Although there is a great crypto that has a great name on it with big team behind it. And it is Ethereum. But it's a nice move though, but they should also support bitcoin not only just ETH. They should trust in the best cryptocurrency also.

I think they added support for Ethereum wallet for the cost and popularity of the coin. Bitcoin is good, but most people use Ethereum more than Bitcoin. But it remains to hope that the support of Bitcoin will also be with Samsung. Like many other necessary altcoins.

Well, it’s not a big deal to me because most projects are built on ECR 20 token but one good thing about BTC and why it doesn’t have any effect on BTC is because one way or the other, many people will always tend to change their FIAT currency to bitcoin first before considering  exchanging it to other coins.

Hence, this step taken by Samsung will still have its own positive effect on the value of bitcoin but will be more feasible on ethereum.

Ethereum has so many token inside, maybe that is part of marketing to increase product selling. With many people using token built on ethereum protocol, they might think that people will buy their phones. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
I do not think that it is marketing so that the cellphone is in demand, because Samsung already have a big fans
If that is their marketing technique why not add a bitcoin wallet too? because it is clear that there are more bitcoin enthusiasts than ETH
They might have some sort of partnership with ethereum and that is why the pick based on my own opinion, but whatever their action is still does not affect BTC in anyway, I just cunt it as ethereum gaining one more strong communities which BTC too has other strong communities engaging in BTC on a daily basis, and looking at the Samsung blockchain wallet which is on Samsung  S10 ALONE, we need to consider the population of the S10 community and if the holders of the S10 will have any use for the wallet since many of them are already on BTC system.

I don't think this is true but it doesn't change a single thing because it doesn't stop people from going to the mobile store to download a bitcoin wallet on their mobile phone, afterall not everyone will make purchase of the samsung galaxy s10 because not everyone can afford it.

The only reason I am happy of their move is because it creates more awareness for crypto as a whole and not just ethereum or bitcoin, it will give investors more confidence to buy any crypto of their choice without fear. It's a good move by samsung.

There are plenty of tokens based on ETH technology and maybe that's why they consideration to supports ETH than bitcoin because people can save their various tokens into one wallet but possible too they will see how far this project success because if the demand less maybe this is could be their last project related to crypto but if this is success i strongly believe soon or late Samsung will considering to supports bitcoin so this is just only a matter of time
im with you, they are thinking about that and the tokenization could be the main reason why samsung created a wallet to store ethereum and its assets. There was a chance for bitcoin to be added in the future.

So what if they haven't included bitcoin wallet? everyone is free to download bitcoin wallets that they wish. But what Samsung did was good, they were now more open to crypto's which can increase the exposure of crypto's not just for ethereum wallet .
Nothing big deal here I guess, because its easy to use ETH and maybe this is the reason why they choose ETH instead of bitcoin. Well, whatever coin they will use this is still a great development by samsung and yes it will still affect the price of every coin.
I don't know the real score why they preferred an ETH wallet instead of a bitcoin wallet. But there's no problem by having that because we're all free to download reliable bitcoin wallets that we can use. I don't find this something as favorable or what, as long as it is crypto related and can cause mass adoption I'm grateful with that.

For sure it will, and I agree with you in terms of people awareness about crypto especially with ETH which will be first adopted by samsung s10,
afterwards we will see more of them, just a quick start and everything will go smoothly, a preparations for more adoptions to happen in the near

You are right and I don't see any issue regarding with this. Eth has the same popularity with btc and most ICOs accept eth so that could be the reason for supporting eth transactions first. We should rejoice on what is happening instead of debating because we all benefit with this news because Samsung is the most patronize brand around the world next to Apple.

I dont think that this is the reason why btc is not included in the release of the phone  . i guess the owner is just an anti bitcoin , thats why they didnt include bitcoin  .  bitcoin is more popular and can also work fast depending on the fee or depending on the network traffic  . but as what other said , this isnt really a big problem to consider because we can still download a wallet that accepts bitcoin and other cryptos  .

I don't think Samsung doesn't want to add the btc wallet option to their latest Flaghship just maybe there are still some bugs or some problems(?) Who knows ?, I'm sure BTC will be added to their wallet sooner or later. They may now prioritize ethereum and ethereum-based tokens in their flagship. I mean BTC is the beginning of all cryptocurrency, it's impossible for Samsung to ignore this. Well, let's see what will happen in the future.

I would not be in a hurry to draw any conclusions from this news now. Who knows, maybe it was conceived in order to draw public attention to themselves and then, when they get a good press and interest grows people will be ready to release a phone with support for a bitoin wallet?

We can only speculate why Bitcoin is not included by Samsung. I have a hunch that because there could be some regulatory pressures from them not to include it in their wallet. But this news could really be welcoming for crypto enthusiast specially who loves Samsung phones, but it will be good if they're going to have Bitcoin as well because we all know that it is the number one crypto in the market and no doubt that it will be a win-win situation if ever they are going to add it in their wallet.

This doesn't actually matter as long as their is a kick start, certainly everything will fall into their own place at the right time. As of now cryptocurrency has yet to be known anywhere from all walks of life. And by doing so it will be made more known and it could not be a problem anymore to feed the idea of another cryptocurrency be it bitcoin or any major cryptocurrency. What is popular will always be popular and time will come that it phones will eventually hold more cryptocurrency that it will be for now.

It's honestly ridiculous.Bitcoin is the most suitable coin.Apparently here the situation is quite different.And specifically, what we all need to figure out.It's not casual.Top 1 coin and the price of which is the highest can not be unnoticeable.Samsung company is very pragmatic and competent.This decision is in any case something justified.

So? People can still download a mobile btc wallet if they wanted to, plus you still need to download the wallet app since it's not pre-installed so can choose to download both the ETH wallet from the galaxy store and a btc wallet. But I wouldn't discard the posibility of an update in the future so that the wallet can also accept BTC.

As for only accepting ETH. Not surprising, ETH is still a major crypto in the market, plus having the option to also accept any ECR20 token is a great feature.
