Guys, do yourselves a favor and come to the next Hackers Congress (HCPP17) in Paralelni Polis. This is not an advertisement, it is just a good advice on how to broaden your horizons in terms of what is possible with Bitcoin. E.g., we accept only bitcoin, no fiat. There are already 30 people who come to us regularly and do payments with an NFC implant. You will be able to meet some of them at the congress and talk to them personally. I myself use it on a daily basis.

Here is my video demonstrating the payments - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdauofdGFBM

This thread is full of misconceptions and it would take too long to explain in detail. I will try to keep it short and you can come meet me in person to get more details.

- the health risks are very low, especially once it heals
- the security is ok for pocket money
- signing transactions inside the chip would protect you from someone stealing your private key, but you still have to trust the POS
- you can change the private key as often as you want, you also do not have to keep more btc on it than for a few coffees
- no, the god will not be angry, there is no beast, devil, or whatever, you will not go to hell for having a "glass splinter" under your skin
- surveillance with an NFC chip is a stupid idea, you have your phone for that
- in case it is not clear: there is no GPS in the chip, not even a battery
- the implant can not control you, detect what you eat, etc. -- it does not interact with your body
- you can go on airplane with the implant, the airport security check does not even detect it
- removing the implant is even easier than getting it in
- taxation is theft
