Samsung accepts payments with cryptocurrencies in 3 countries in Europe
The rivalry between companies that work with technology is such that they can not afford to rest for a moment when it comes to innovation. Being up to date is not enough, you always have to stay one step ahead of the others.
That is why Samsung, the multinational conglomerate of South Korea, continues to innovate day by day and tries to surprise us with the incredible news that it is already possible, at least in some countries, to acquire their products and pay with our cryptographic assets.
The first stores in which it is already possible to make a purchase paying with cryptocurrencies are located in three Baltic countries, so, for now, only its citizens can benefit from such an association.
There is one in Estonia located in Tallinn, another in Latvia located in Riga and in Lithuania there are three that accept payments with cryptocurrencies and are located in Vilnius.
The impact of this fact is unknown, however, it is expected that the increase in payment possibilities will cause the company's sales to increase.
CodPay has provided some information about Samsung, will accept Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC), Dash, NEM and Steem.
With this we can deduce that, Samsung really believes in the benefits that the massive adoption of cryptocurrencies may have in the future.
As reported by the company, will expand the number of stores that accept this type of payment, not only in their physical stores, but the company has plans that your online store also accept payment with short-term cryptocurrencies.
Despite the information provided, Samsung has not made public the date on which this option will be implemented on the platform or which will be the following physical stores to accept the payment with cryptocurrencies.
CopPay not only talked about Samsung, but commented that the adoption of cryptocurrencies by companies and people is getting bigger and that therefore the facility to acquire goods and services in companies of any kind all over the world will be growing:
"There is a growing trend towards commercial digitalization and it allows customers to pay for goods and services in cryptocurrency, either in global stores or in local restaurants."
It is not the first time that Samsung is involved in something related to blockchain technology or cryptocurrencies. Earlier this year, the company revealed its intention to enter the ASIC market by manufacturing its own chips especially to mine cryptocurrencies.
