Storing crypto on an implant?

[dimonstration]

I am very negative about any kind of implantation of foreign objects. I think that in the future people will implanting something similar into their bodies, but I do not see any positive aspects of this. it will be very easy to track you anytime and anywhere and you will be under the control of the government and the FBI. I'm not talking about how this will affect your body... most likely your health will constantly get worse

While others think of it as the future, I will not let myself have any implant even to store bitcoin, there's no sense and it can be too dangerous. For health and people might get interest on you when they know you have implanted bitcoin, though those who will do it maybe have tons of bitcoin.

I did watched some documentary about implants but the thing is is it safe for us? Imagine implant on our body? Still its made up of chip metallic or even plastic can maybe damage the internal parts of our body.

Seen this in some movies but of course that is fictional and probably the negative effect isn't talked about. But to be honest the idea is cool if this could somehow implement. No one can steal youre funds unless they cut you alive.

[Obito]

Much more safer than hardware wallets however it is bad for a body to take it. IMO I don't even think that diving to such idea is recommended. We could do some sort of thing to avoid stealing and losing it rather than doing an implant. Besides if it would be ever someone knew you had such thing inside your body and they knew that it cost a lot, they would even dare try to harm just to get it unlike having it physically and/or online.

It is really great invention if things can be implemented in to humans body, and it looking like a Hollywood scientific movies imagination, maybe it will be possible in future.

Knowing that the field of nanotechnology has improved over the past years, I wonder whenever we'll be able to see crypto implants someday? Implants are available for private use, but it might soon become available for everyday people. Imagine storing your utmost sensitive crypto private keys on an implant. Putting this on your body might be painful at first, but then it'll be a blast using your bare hands for paying at retail stores with your crypto balance.

We need to take into consideration how safe this is for our own bodies over the long term. If the microchip implanted on your hand would cause an infection over time, I wouldn't want to use it even if it provides convenience when paying with crypto (as it eliminates the need to carry with mobile devices). I wonder if someone already came up with something like this? If so, how safe it is for anyone to use? An implant could very well be the ideal replacement for mobile devices, and even traditional storage mediums as they're capable of holding essential information inside a person's body anytime, anywhere. You would always carry your crypto with you, without fear of hacks or even theft.

What are your thoughts?

if this will be possible in the future I will never use it also
i will use mobile phone or card instead that I can connect in some online wallet

Honestly I don't think that crypto makes for a good implant per se. I mean, would there really be any value in crypto being implanted inside of someone?

[boris singer]

radiation generated will be something dangerous if used continuously, medically I am sure the implant will also expire and must be replaced periodically even though the chip is covered by a membrane that does not affect the body's organs. I think more about privacy where developers or irresponsible parties will easily exploit personal activity tracking when the chip is manually activated by the user.

It is true this idea has some good aspects but i think it has some bad ones as well like the infections you talked about or you can get robbed and if it is in your body your life would be threatened.

[ethereumhunter]

That could happen in the future if technology is growing fast. We might see what we watch in the movie will come true with better technology. It is possible to see in one day, and the safest wallet is on our body with a chip inside. We can pay something by showing a barcode in our hands because there is money inside our body, which we can use to buy something. Maybe that dream will come true someday.

Implants could be a hassle but we may soon turn our fingerprints into digital signature and they can turn into private keys or password for your wallet. Thumbprints are natural implants and no one could be sure of your coins as everyone have the prints and you don't have to let it know to anyone while implant of other things would need a surgery or some procedure where the helping person knows about your implant and where it lies.

The more sophisticated the technology, the higher the risk. If indeed this is the best solution why not? I would not reject this sophisticated technology if it really happened. Because this is a genius idea that almost never crossed. So I always pray for all the good things. And every risk will also have a cure.

if we talk about bitcoins, then this does not make any sense at all, because first of all, bitcoin is anonymity, but what kind of anonymity can we talk about if everyone knows which wallet is in your body. It will be very easy to understand who is the owner of the cryptocurrency and how much money on your account. it can be very unsafe.

[isaac_clarke22]

It is possible actually. I've seen quite few movies already doing some kind of transaction within their own hands only. It's like the hand is your credit/debit card that you would just scan through the card scanner.
However that might take a long time still.

Look's amazing but I'm sure our body can't use for that purposes. Saving private data is important but using technology is better than implant. There's safe deposit box, external hardware or just in notepad. Technology always grow up but please use wise mindset to use it. Take the simple way, not wasting money but has guarantee for not be stolen. Implant is more important in health, so let's replace in there and support it by giving our donation for the progress to help people in healthy problems.

Reminds me of the bitcad project which is related to bio.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1865997.0
The project seem to be scam but the website still is up even today.

Implant would be a good option if you have a kid that you think might not survive the future by himself like if he is mentally ill or probably crippled and you as a father will give him a better chance besides educating him today. Having a cryptowallet implanted in his thumb or somewhere else is an assurance of better life.

[Ucy]

Is this implant for convinence or security? How about the copy of keys? Where is it going to be stored? I guess you'll need to have a copy somewhere just incase something happens to the body. 
Well, I'd rather store mine on my body though. I could imprint it on my body in cryptic form or even on artificial tooth/teeth.

[Dalmar]

Not a good idea, I can't imagine the criminal what will do to my body if he knows about the stored private keys on the implant. The criminals can detect the stored info with the help of technology and they can use the advantage of PK for spending the crypto.

This is true, you might be taking it too far with your implant aspirations. Imagine the costs that it would charge you and everyone who takes advantage of it. Furthermore, health complications for when your body rejects foreign bodies is also something you should consider. And lastly, you still would not be safe from hackers since most probably the implant that you have will still use private keys to open your wallet up which When hackers use, can still be susceptible to theft.

Technology can indeed change everything, and the goal is none other than making it easier for humans to do things. The idea is indeed very brilliant, carrying a wallet everywhere easily and not afraid of loss or trouble. In the future this will definitely happen and all humans will use the chip, but I think it is still far away and what needs to be developed now is the crypto market. We need to build one's trust and regulation first, so that mainstream adoption occurs. For the side effects of infections or not on the body, maybe medical science can handle it all.

[coin-investor]

Yeah, it sounds cool but i would rather use some sort of device outside my body then risk someone stealing my private key by chopping my implant off and my hand with it.

That makes sense it's too risky to do that, once they know where you put your private key you will be the target and not your device, I would not even think of doing such thing, all you need to do is to be well organized and find the best device to put your private key or better do not store all your coins in one wallet, it's always a sound advice.
