Samsung Galaxy S10 Could Expose Crypto to Millions of Tech Savvy Users

Samsung Galaxy S10 Could Expose Crypto to Millions of Tech Savvy Users
Advertisement

This week, images were leaked potentially giving the world its first glimpse at South Korea-based tech giant Samsung’s flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S10. Among the images, was evidence that Samsung could be ready to launch a crypto wallet to store cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, and a blockchain explorer service called Samsung Blockchain KeyStore.

While the leaked images aren’t yet confirmation that the much-anticipated iPhone killer will indeed ship with the crypto wallet in tow, if it does, Samsung will be exposing crypto and blockchain to millions of its most tech-savvy smartphone users.

Samsung Galaxy S10 May Ship With Crypto Wallet, Blockchain Explorer

The smartphone market has been one of the hottest markets with the fiercest competition over the last decade. Apple and Samsung, and more recently in Asia, Xiaomi, have been battling for market share and are constantly adding new features to their smartphones in each new iteration to lure users from one brand to the other.

Samsung often leads with new features, while Apple is said to later take those same features and perfect them. In the Galaxy S10 – the closest competitor to Apple’s iPhone – Samsung may be adding a crypto wallet and other blockchain-related features to the phone via a new Blockchain KeyStore application.

According to Samsung-focused media outlet SamMobile, new leaked images of the Galaxy S10 appear to show the Blockchain KeyStore application live in action. The app welcome page explains that Samsung Blockchain KeyStore “is a secure and convenient place for your cryptocurrency.”

The existence of Samsung’s Blockchain Keystore was first reported last month, stemming from patents the South Korean firm had previously filed in relation to cryptocurrency wallets for cold storage, among other blockchain-related patents.

Initial reports mentioned that the Blockchain Keystore app will store private keys behind biometric authentication, can sign transactions, and can view account information and transaction history of each cryptocurrency wallet.

The leaked photos show only Ethereum as a supported cryptocurrency, however, rumors suggest that the app will launch with support for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Ethereum-based ERC-20 tokens.

Samsung’s Blockchain Keystore Makes Crypto Adoption Easy For Millions Of Users

Cryptocurrency is a new technology, and emerging asset class that isn’t widely understood by the mainstream public. Like the internet before it, crypto has many years of adoption ahead of it before its potential is ever fully realized. This latest move from Samsung may speed up crypto adoption by exposing cryptocurrencies and blockchain to its million of customers who will purchase the flagship smartphone.

The original Galaxy S launched in June 2010, and in the nine years since then smartphones went from a device reserved for tech enthusiasts looking for the next big thing, to becoming an everyday item people cannot live without. Samsung’s inclusion of crypto-related features in its smartphone could do the same for cryptocurrencies.

Smartphones have succeeded due to their simplistic design, ease of use, and the fact they’ve become an almost necessary device for those seeking to stay in touch with friends, family, and business contacts. By placing cryptocurrencies at the fingertips of these users, crypto could see a similar path of adoption through familiarity alone.

The year the Galaxy S released, Samsung shipped 22 million units of the smartphone. However, starting in Q2 2013, when the smartphone market began to boom, Samsung has shipped over 70 million units per quarter, totaling nearly 300 million smartphones shipped each year.

In the almost six years since then, Samsung has shipped nearly 2 billion smartphones. While it took years to achieve, the inclusion of a crypto wallet in Samsung smartphone has the potential to expose crypto and blockchain to millions – and potentially billions – of tech-savvy smartphone users.

I'm Tony Spilotro. Behind the pseudonym, I'm a digital media executive and global remote work leader with a decade of content experience and excellent. Here, I explore my newfound passions pertaining to privacy, finance, economics, politics, cryptography, property rights, and other libertarian-esque views. I am a Bitcoin evangelist, maximalist, and educator whenever I can be, helping to spread its message of freedom from government control, monetary policy mismanagement, and passing the buck - literally – to future generations. My journey from a curious retail crypto investor to a serious Bitcoin advocate, trader, and technical analyst is an unusual one, but life-changing nonetheless and has become less about money and more about a long-overdue revolution. While a firm believer in the laws governing math and science, I am profoundly fascinated by the impact of astrology and astronomy including moon and solar cycles and planetary alignment and their ability to influence and potentially predict markets. It hasn't yet clicked for me as to how to put anything to use, but I consider it my current rabbit hole I can't yet dig out of. My perspective of growing up alongside the internet, the dot com era, the Great Recession, and roots in video games collecting coins and rare items caused Bitcoin to immediately make sense to me. Through all of these lenses, I seek to produce content that is educational and entertaining, and I thank you sincerely for taking the time to read what I have to say. Please follow me on Twitter and feel free to drop me a line if you would like to work together.
