you want to lose your arm? Because that's how you lose your arm.

Imagine you're in a sketchy neighborhood and people know you're carrying a huge amount in your palm.

Its good for ease of transaction, but a big NO for security

Well, this is interesting, in medical terms placing a foreign object into our body is potentially a disaster. If this concept just like something that implemented on the surface of the skin i think this is not a big problem but if this object is placed under the skin layer it's just not good for your health. Not only that you might also lose your arm you know what i mean, the criminal will do everything to get what they want.
Anyway, bitcoin tattoo is a good option sadly it just can be used to receive bitcoin.

Come on it's nothing bad. Tell that to people that implant stuff under their skin to have horns and stuff. I haven't heard about them dying from it.
I wouldn't be afraid of the implant itself or losing an arm like someone suggested, I just don't see the point of having such implant.

It's just a dumb idea. Keep your money separated from your body, or else your body may become a target for the most brutal thieves, you don't want to lose an arm cause you have a chip there with millions of dollars. Bad idea!

I don't think it's a good idea because you could be tracked very easily for nasty people, like the government. They would track you by your address and you wouldn't be anonymous anymore. I know there are advantages like the accessibility, but in the end it's more negative than positive.

Currently, there is already this kind of implant, not with BTC, but with another informations, like a barcode micro chip in the hand. I wouldn't use this kind of stuff...

I guess, before trying to make some crazy ideas about implementing bitcoin wallets into our wrists or having a digital wallet in our pocket, people should work on making bitcoin accepted anywhere we go.

All the business in the world should have a motivation to accept bitcoin therefore they have to know the advantages of using bitcoin nowadays, we don’t need any crazy ideas until we can use the bitcoin in our daily lives, it is like bringing a suit to a beach party or it is like having a fork to eat soup you have it but you can’t do anything with it.

Yes. That would be the number one thing to consider, before implants become a reality. Bitcoin needs more acceptance from everyday people, merchants, and businesses to become practical in the mainstream world. Another factor that would need to be considered is the ability for Bitcoin to scale, as it would determine its long-term success in the future.

However, if Bitcoin gets to scale, then there would be major acceptance from merchants and businesses worldwide, making the use of implants practical in the future. I have the feeling that we would shift towards using implants and integrated devices to handle our personal information, as well as our finances. Just my opinion.

It would be pretty convenient indeed but the thing is implanting something within your body might affect your health or something and every person have different immunity within their body that the implant may affect it but if, and the government would not be against this idea they it might be great but then I think we don't really need this things to be implanted to someone, just like in the movie kings men about the SIM card implants in their napes, I think the whole concept or idea came to that!

Implant technology (non-bitcoin) has been used for detainees at Guantanamo, and even embedded in the body of war soldier, very useful to anticipate if it's lost in the countryside. For economy, I welcome this bitcoin technology to be quickly realized, maybe we don't need to carry a wallet + private key anywhere because it's embedded in the body. In this case, the percentage of the radiation has to be taken seriously.

Previously, we know many types of medical implant or implant chips in anticipation of fractures, this is 100% safe though made of iron and steel.

>People are implying that we're actually going to get to a point where RFID chips are required in order to function in what would be a modern society.

While everyone wants to say that, I find anyone actually expecting it to be woefully unaware of the actual attitudes held by people that would have to deal with something like that, and they're ignoring the geopolitics happening right now.

Governments in certain countries will seek to do something like this, but there is a high chance that they will either fail, or in the event they succeed, it will not become a major thing for at least a generation in their country. Even then, people who don't want it can leave to a country without it.

Ive heard that same concept i think the name of it was RFID microchip, cant remember.
But if ever it happens that would be the end of privacy for us bitcoin users
Cause they can track us using that device where ever we go
That would destroy bitcoin's anonymous features.

The chips are designed not in RFID or GPS type that can be tracked, but the implant in form of a barcode
it is actually not difficult to indicate it but I believe there is no such thing as anonymity in the future
everyone will be recorded in detail if they want to be accepted by civilization.

Well, if such an implant be visible from outside, you probably be kidnapped...

Innovation has always had a lopsided argument, but it doesn't matter because if you carry a credit card will also experience the same thing.
Crime is always there and that's where we need to be more vigilant, implants offer a more practical concept and automatic.

The idea is great but I'd rather use a watch, armband etc.. that has my private and
public keys on it, I'd be more comfortable with that. although if bitcoin bio-paying is accepted
and is approved to be safe, considering it is not a problem for me Cheesy

I am not for body alteration for any payment method, too sketchy and especially if someone knows you have it and have quite an amount, seems like a great way to lose a hand.

This is simples, you just make it so you have to clap both hands together before making the payment.

As long as is not bad for the health, and is just a microchip that you can carry in your belt this would be an awesome idea.

Thank you, wont they have to operate ones body(hand)? if that will be needed, Why should we go that far? and if not, technology can go that far if accepted and that will be a nice idea.

I'm not sure if this has ever been implemented yet, but can you imagine a way of paying with Bitcoin by just using your own body?

It would be more of like a microchip implanted into your left or right hand that would contain both your public and private keys to send and receive Bitcoins.

So in case you want to send or receive some BTC, you would just pass your hand over at a scanner and it would perform the desired operation. This is would make it a very convenient and easy way to transact, and carry your Bitcoins with you anytime, anywhere. However, the only thing to be considered would be the security of your private key from within your implant, to protect your funds from theft.

Nevertheless, I want to know your opinion about this, since it would be pretty cool to have such a system to help spread mass adoption of the cryptocurrency.

I think this is a good idea, if there is now perhaps this will facilitate transactions for users bitcoin

I heard from rumors that in my country several personalities have microchips implanted somewhere in their bodies to trace where they are in case they get kidnapped or something. This has been a rather old technology but if payment system is to be configured in that chip, that is definitely an upgrade, and that also raises the security issues a person has to deal with. Maybe in the future, these things would be possible on a wider scale because implants are starting to be just another thing at this day and age.

I think these will be great, I mean really great, and I think we dont need to use private keys because we can use our thumb mark as our private key, right? what do you think? everytime you pay your client or costumer you will just give out your finger and mark so it can be sent. As we all know bitcoin is the most innovative currency and it also need some innovative security, these is really great, I think someone has been implementing these now.

Looks like a very attractive idea and can really be an icon for being a very technologically-advanced person. However, there would be many who can be turned-off with the idea. I for one may not go with it as it can invade my own privacy even if it is just my thinking. Plus it can be dangerous...we can be kidnapped and be forced to do Bitcoin transactions because the chip is inside of us lol. But I think there can be a good market for this and the technology behind can have other uses too.

Reminds me of those news stories about h4x0rs stealing wireless credit card data from people on the street.

An implant would probably be the most convenient and fastest way to pay for things.

But perhaps like 2MB block sizes, the fast and convenient way, isn't always the best.

but if the only thing being transmitted from the device is a signed tx (emphasis no privkey)
then it ends up being safer then a credit card
