The Yin and the Yang of AI & Blockchain

Today I read about HTC's Exodus 1, new Blockchain smartphone that only people with crypto-currency can buy. SCMP described in very simple terms what this phone is for: Both HTC's Exodus and Sirin's Finney smartphones feature a built-in digital wallet application that will enable users to securely store and use cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin and ethereum, in daily transactions. Those smartphones are designed to replace the special memory sticks, which employ complex usernames and passwords to access, that cryptocurrency investors use to store their digital money. These investors typically store most of their cryptocurrencies in such hardware, which are kept offline as a means of security. "There are things that a phone manufacturer can do with a chip that nobody else can," said Chen. "We want to be safer than the existing hardware wallets … HTC has a track record of making trusted hardware."
