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?

There are two sides positive and negative. In positive it can be an advantage as there is a built in cryptocurrency wallet that serves us in a convenient way but in the negative side it can also harm our funds as we don't know how it was made or I mean the program it is using but the thing is Samsung has it's best reputation in electronic industry so I think it is reliable. So far I haven't heard something that Samsung is involved in security issues.

Newly leaked images of Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S10 device show support for cryptocurrencies within the device. The “Samsung Blockchain KeyStore” is described as both “a secure and convenient place for your cryptocurrency” and a place to “secure and manage your blockchain private key.”
A user may import an existing wallet to transfer existing cryptocurrency. The image shows that multiple cryptocurrencies are supported, although only Ethereum is named directly. Additionally, a user may create a new cryptocurrency wallet with Samsung Blockchain KeyStore.

It will further help in creating wide awareness about cryptocurrency. Since Samsung is a well known name in the telecom industry, people won't find it difficult accepting the concept of Cryptocurrency. One thing we must watch out in all these is the security of the wallet and how vulnerable it's to hackers. I will just stick to my old ways of doing my investment.

Wow?! That is really really really great indeed. I am one of the Samsung proud users and hopefully I'll ve able to purchase this S10 unit too someday. That would a good news for me as a crypro user too.

Are you willing to shell out around $1K for just smart phone with supposedly crypto wallet support? Not a good investment, imho. Anyways, not buying this rumour. For me this is just a marketing strategy and nothing else and I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung would have denied it by now.

Second, if the phone is expensive, then why not get a hardware wallet which prices around the $100-$300 only?
Also I consider it not safe, because your phone will be always online so the risk is there, just saying.

But that aside, what is troubling me most is...
ETH support only??? WTF?

See, it makes me more even skeptics about this so called news from Samsung. ETH support only? I don't understand it as well, do they think they can attract potential crypto customers by just having ETH only? Or are they just afraid supporting bitcoin wallet because of the risk and the negative connotion if ever a hack happens using their touted crypto wallet? hmmm.

I'm not a fan of Samsung anyways..

Any further spread and acceptance is a good thing in my mind. I like it.

That's good news. I think that this is also a good PR for Samsung, because users of crypto has now become quite a lot and they will choose them.

Samsung is quite a successful and popular company. Therefore, I think that such news can have a positive impact for crypto. This suggests that it is developing and it is very cool.

Wow, I am very happy to hear this good news, because I know that Samsung is a very good Smartphone company in the world, so with the S10 model that will be embedded in the Crypto Wallet will make Bitcoin more popular and have a good impact on prices. hopefully.

Negative because of
1. Security 1. Validation risk: who programmed the wallet? Where is the source code?
2. Security 2. surface of attack. Embedding the wallet directly on the phone greatly improves the surface of attack of potentially malicious attacker.
3. Privacy. Embedding a wallet in a phone link my wallet to my IMEI, that is linked to my identity. That phone comes with an embedded KYC
4. Personal security. Hanging around with such a phone signals you are interested in crypto. So you are exposed to physical attack. Even if you don’t actually hold any crypto in the wallet you are exposed to such a risk. (here an always relevant XKCD strip: https://xkcd.com/538/)

Instead I cannot think of a single advantage of carrying such a phone, instead of a regular phone with an open source app installed (second best, apple with a well known wallet)

Other than the security issues the phone with an embedded wallet is pretty good for one thing: Advertising.

Samsung is a pretty well known brand and anything they say they do will be seen by a lot of people around the world and of course we cannot forget that the best way of advertising is the references people gives to each other when they find something they like and/or talk about what something really does and how.

It's an interesting start, however it needs to be improved a lot just like any new thing.

a cryptocurrency wallet doesn't really belong on your cell phone, specially if it comes pre-installed. you usually want to keep your coins in cold storage specially since nothing apart from bitcoin has any other usages in the real world so there is no point in for example carrying around your NEO, or ETH or something like that in your phone!
if they only limit it to bitcoin then there is no point in their wallet since we already have other android wallets like Electrum which are more trusted.

Correct, that's why I find it funny people commenting that its going to be good. I mean you always have your phones in your wallet with your money in it so its already compromise because I'm sure majority of us are going online with our smart phones, and there's also the risk of malware attack.

Doesnt matter - the s10 is going to expose millions of people to crypto, which is insanely good. Adoption, man!

I saw this news a while ago and I noticed that the wallet only seems to accept Ethereum for now, this is a great stride and would help expose Cryptocurrencies to a wider range of people especially Ethereum.

As much as the advantages abound because of the default nature of what its going to come with the phone, the point of discussion is the end users. I don't see this going anywhere though or say reach the amount of impact the proposers of this project will get because of certain reasons:

An average phone users does not get to use to the maximum the default app on the phone without adequate information. Even application that are not crypto related are still having low patronage compared to this. When the end users don't know about crypto, the app would just be one of those "unnecessary" apps on the phone.

Another reason is I don't see someone who is exposed to the various reputable wallets now giving that up for an app like this because knowing the anonymity part becoming a thing of the past is enough to consider other options.

I think the impact on cryptographic markets will be a positive one. Being very many owners of Samsung phones, they will know the crypto market and will want to join his cryptocurrency. Thus there will be a community on the crypto market much larger, which will contribute to the recovery of the market. The disadvantage is the exaggerated cost of the gadget.

in my opinion Samsung is more advanced than other smartphones because Samsung is more advanced in the field of financial management in today's technology and I think Samsung can beat Apple in the near future

Since the risk of having a cryptowallet is very high I can see it still a good start for cryptocurrency, everything will start at the bottom until they reach the peak of success and it is not impossible with the modern technology it will be having an improvement and soon the risk will be lessen or it will be taken away.

wow, Samsung is getting closer to bitcoin, I think all crypto wallets have been installed, not just Samsung S10.
