In 2018, HTC released the HTC Exodus 1, a phone that uses a blockchain and runs on the popular software technology. Now it looks like HTC is preparing to launch a second HTC Exodus phone, but we don't yet know if blockchain-based systems are popular in 2019. According to DigiTimes, Phil Chen (the "author" of HTC phone maker, and not the bassist), plans to release a successor to the HTC Exodus 1, which we tentatively labeled for the HTC Exodus 2's. Here at the end of the year. However, there has been a big change in the blockchain scene in the last year, and HTC may have a hard time forcing many consumers to invest in a blockchain phone.
The HTC Exodus 1 was the phone of its time…
The HTC Exodus 1 was one of the world's first blockchain-powered phones to jump on the bandwagon. Although the cryptocurrency crash began, the blockchain still had a fairly respected reputation. As one of the best known blockchain systems, crypto currencies, especially bitcoins, are often confused with the software they run on. Fans of Crypto and other blockchain-based systems have embraced the HTC Exodus 1, which, according to HTC, was meeting market expectations, despite its high price of around $1,000 / £770 / AU$1420. (its real price was in bitcoin or Ethereum, which fluctuates a lot). But 2018 ended and the crypto continued to crash. In the eyes of the general public, all blockchain-based technologies are broken. Therefore, HTC will fight to make its new phone very interested.
...but would an HTC Exodus miss the boat?
Fans of crypto currency or other block-based systems will still find the HTC Exodus an intriguing device, but it seems the number of these fans is slowly dwindling as the crypto glitch progresses. . Of course, a device based on such complex, fairly complex technology isn't going to appeal to many non-tech consumers, so it's not like the HTC Exodus 2 has such an integrated audience that it's not the same thing. He could afford to alienate buyers. From the looks of it, Chen doesn't plan to launch the HTC Exodus 2 before the end of 2019, so it's quite possible that the crypto market will be restored by then. But at the moment, we don't know how much another Blockchain-powered phone is doing right now.
