HTC’s next smartphone will run a full Bitcoin (BTC) node

HTC is launching a low-cost version of its Exodus, the Exodus 1s, which will be able to run a full Bitcoin ($BTC) node. Announced this weekend at New York's Magical Crypto Conference, the phone will retail between $200-$300 as compared to the full Exodus at $700. As HTC’s Chief Content Officer Phil Chen puts it, "the music fan wants to keep the whole music library but the crypto fan wants to keep the whole bitcoin blockchain.”
