Samsung is smart, they're going to make a huge profit building these hardware and also get some media attention for support blockchain and cryptocurrency adoption, it's a total win-win for Samsung.

Good news but sorry I may have to digress a little bit. I won't be surprised that news will start changing soon to positive from the negative ones we have had in recent weeks. Normally, institutions always win since they have all it takes to play with the psychology of investors. Took profit from the top, influenced the media, drove the price back down enough, bought back in and then voila, influence the media again, we start hearing news like Samsung investing into mining gadgets gradually and so much more to come, then we see FOMOs kicing to the moon once again. SMH!

Anyway, back to the main topic, I hope Samsung would come up with a better innovation with the mining gadgets though, most especially with electricity consumption and more efficiency. So good to start having strong players investing in the market.

It is a risky move by Samsung in a situation where the SK government might go against it.

Today I heard that Samsung is going to make bitcoin mining hardware especially Antminer S9 which I heard that they will name it as 'Samsung S9', with this act by Samsung everyone can understand that Samsung is in the favor of bitcoin and they will strongly support bitcoin. Almost all of the Samsung users will then know about this device and so more and more people will then know about bitcoin and the demand and the users of bitcoin will be increased too much.

This is indeed a great news,samsung is popular nationwide even here in our country most of the people here use this brand.I think this would be a be the step for bitcoin to be on the spotlight again since this big compay in favor with it.I can see a bright future waiting for bitcoin and i'm excited about it.

It is good to know Samsung is manufacturing chips for mining. And hopefully we have more choice for mining hardware. The antminer S9 has been out of stock for quite sometimes and pre order takes so long to deliver.

"Samsung to support bitcoin"

Now we are at that time that people try and pump the price. They are making chips, but not supporting bitcoin. They dont accept it, they are not donating to a bitcoin charity, they are not paying millions to educate people. Simply making a product that bitcoin users can use.

But still, it takes serious studies before a giant tech company produce chips for miners. They wouldn't invest if they can't market these tech. This will make high hopes for crypto investors that crypto isn't dead.

Wow it's such a nice news to hear! I'm quite a big fan of samsung too, and like to use their devices.
And knowing that they will make a mining device soon make me want to start mining right away.
Yes, it sure is a great move. If samsung launch a product to mine bitcoin, people will be curious. What's it? What's bitcoin? What's mining and such. They might try to find about it and maybe even get into this crypto world as well?
It'll be great because more people know bitcoin and it will be even more popular than ever as well!

So great giants like Samsung would be in favor of it. Samsung is a very famous company; they are able to even more bitcoin to advertise. And in the end, it's good to earn that. As for the future bitcoin.

Thats really a good news.Earlier and even now bitmain the Chinese company dominates the bitcoin mining industry. Later GMO an internet giant of Japan said that it's going to invest millions of dollars in manufacturing bitcoin mining equipments.

Now Samsung a big name in electronic industry has announced to enter the market. It would definitely help decentralization of mining industry. But Samsung manufacturing antminers does not mean that all the Samsung gadget users would get familiar with bitcoin.

Get ready, someday Samsung would create a mobile phone that allows you to mine a crypto currency at  background. Not sure if Samsung is already doing this silently inside from their latest Galaxy phones? HOpe not.

Today I heard that Samsung is going to make bitcoin mining hardware especially Antminer S9 which I heard that they will name it as 'Samsung S9', with this act by Samsung everyone can understand that Samsung is in the favor of bitcoin and they will strongly support bitcoin. Almost all of the Samsung users will then know about this device and so more and more people will then know about bitcoin and the demand and the users of bitcoin will be increased too much.

This is the first time I've heard about this. That's a good news. Though it is a move that will profit their company, which is natural, but still it has positive effects for the bitcoin community. Samsung is a big company. If they will be making a device for bitcoin mining, more people will believe in the potential of bitcoin.

Couldn't find anything about samsung accepting bitcoin, nothing even close and the only link on google supporting that is this thread. Maybe it's more of a consideration than a solid statement. Tho I've found something interesting considering samsung besides bitcoin adoption.

Today I heard that Samsung is going to make bitcoin mining hardware especially Antminer S9 which I heard that they will name it as 'Samsung S9',

They will probably never use that name.
It's the same name for their current flagship phone , S9 galaxy so it's too risky to have products share the name.

Besides they will be a direct competitor for bitmain not a partner.


Almost all of the Samsung users will then know about this device and so more and more people will then know about bitcoin and the demand and the users of bitcoin will be increased too much.

It's doubtful that anyone having a mobile smartphone hasn't come yet across news about bitcoin.

They create computer's and laptops but I dont think they create and sell mining related technology. Yeah, it is possible to see that bitcoin market is very profitable and they have the advantage of being one of the best companies in the world but still I dont think they would create a mining hardware especially because of bitcoin

It's half confirmed:

At least they are going to make chips...not sure about miners but chips are definitely on the table

Samsung is making lots of things, including many things even Samsung fans do not know, so your argument that it will increase awareness is biased I think.

Yes, Samsung is more interested in business here. But this company is a global giant. They have a very strong lobby in South Korea as they are involved in producing military equipments as well as a strong player in electronics worldwide. So if they start producing mining hardwares, it will provide a very strong push towards the legalization of crypto currencies in South Korea which is the third largest market for cryptos.

So it is definitely a good news especially when the crypto prices are going down globally. If we see such kind of big corporations are producing crypto equipments and related technologies, it certainly provides some strong group to fight back.

I doubt they are going to be lobbying anyone. Remember that bitcoin mining is worldwide, and South Korea doesn't have cheap electricity, so the chances of mining operations being set up there is slim to none.

All that has happened is that they've seen an opportunity and have gone for it - their chips can be used in other situations, so it's win-win for them.

That's good to hear. New big brands are starting to slowly get into cryptocurrencies. Today they make some mining hardware and tomorrow they will end up mining and using crypto for themselves.

I dont think this could be real, samsung is a big international company and their products are not related to anything that includes mining or stuffs like that. They create computer's and laptops but I dont think they create and sell mining related technology. Yeah, it is possible to see that bitcoin market is very profitable and they have the advantage of being one of the best companies in the world but still I dont think they would create a mining hardware especially because of bitcoin

That is the start from them. There is much more in this act from them. Samsung is a giant company and they are putting most of their potential in creating this hardware for bitcoin. It means that they believe in bitcoin and as this giant company is in trust on bitcoin then people will also trust that yes bitcoin is the coin which has a bright future.

Just think why a bigger company will create something for bitcoin if they will not believe on it. They believe on its future that is why they are planning for it.
They have so great scientists. Wonder if Samsung and sony unite to develop great miner. But I have no idea why will they sell it like bitmain while samsung can to enter into bitcoin world very seriously and conquer whole crypto world with the help of their scientists. Well, google can do the same but this will be fatal.
I don't like that fact, if samsung develop antminers, there is a potential from other companies to follow samsung's steps and this will make a big monopoly in mining, greater than antminer has (do they really have? No).
