If you’ve seen movies like Idiocracy, even at the future’s lowest level of technological advancement, people will be scanning body parts to get through life. It may be 25, 100, or 500 years from now, but those days are in our future. For some people, the future is now, as the world’s first verified bio-payment using Bitcoin has been performed through a microchip implant into a man’s hand.

Mark of the beast?
At some point in the future we'll have brain chips and we'll end up being half human and half robotics which would have it's benefits but definitely some downsides.  This is pretty cool though as long as it is retrievable without causing too much damage and doesn't cause infection.

I am not impressed by it and I am not a big fan of cyborgization of people. Mainly not because it is against my beliefs but it can be easy abused by higher power.
Hackers, governments, terrorists organizations, malicious people etc. I don't want to be hacked in the future.
