Great idea. What could possibly go wrong?

CLEVELAND (WJW) — The future is here. Those tired of taking out their wallet or phone to pay for things could soon skip that step entirely, thanks to a new implantable payment chip.

The British-Polish company Walletmor has created a microchip that can be implanted inside a person’s hand and used as one would tap a credit card for payment. The technology is only currently allowed to be sold in the European Union and the U.K.

“The implant can be used to pay for a drink on the beach in Rio, a coffee in New York, a haircut in Paris – or at your local grocery store,” founder and chief executive Wojtek Paprota told the BBC. “It can be used wherever contactless payments are accepted.”

The company said it’s the first to sell these kinds of chips to willing customers, unleashing its biopolymer technology about the size of a small safety pin on the world last year. The cost is around $300.

But just how many people are all right with the idea of having essentially a credit card placed in their body? Walletmor said in a press release that so far at least 200 people have purchased its technology.

According to a 2021 survey, which talked to 4,000 people across Europe, nearly 51% said they would consider an implant of some type, yet security issues reportedly remained a concern for some.

Walletmor explained their chips use near-field communication or NFC, the same system smartphones use for contactless payments, and that they cannot be read until they’re in close contact with a payment reader device. The company said the chip does not include a battery nor does it make radio waves on its own.

Fine until someone figures out how to make a charge against one of these chips without the "users" interaction.

Then, meet the new pickpocket.

People who try to implement shit like this should be jailed.

Not enough people read the Bible.

Is it model #666?

I'm surprised the price wasn't Euro 666.

Yeah, that Bible’s full of bull, isn’t it.

Revelation 13:16,17:

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark…

Someday it won’t be for ‘convenience’, it will be mandated.

And to think I don't even really like the wireless chips in my cards I can secure inside an RFID blocking wallet. I would really not like an implanted chip I had no way to protect. I guess I would have to get an RFID blocking glove made and just wear that everywhere.

The various payment methods on electronic devices are OK, at least you can turn that off and have to enter a code to unlock the capability.

This is an extremely poorly thought out idea.

Completely absurd anyone would "willingly" accept or want this. Biblically, its foretold. Practically, what's to prevent someone from taking that chip right out of your hand or even scanning it like they do chip cards already and stealing the #?

Yo bartender, I'd like to pay my tab.

No Mark of The Beast for me!

I think all these draconian vaccine mandates have hurt any idea like this badly. Good.

And one day it will be merged with medical information like covid shots/passports etc. See how all the insanity has a purpose.

I’m not exactly religious. That said, not today Satan.

Challenge accepted. There are a surprisingly large number who will not submit. Check who isn't vaxxed. Many drew the line right there.

Mandated? Masks on planes just got ruled illegal by a FL judge. Illegal mandates weren't respected, anyway.

If we are going to support the full intent of the 2A, time to stand up against a dystopian future where the bad guys win. Cause, it's just one of two possible results.

Look to the light.

This started back in 2017 with a Swedish company using RFID implants as company badges to unlock doors and log on computers.

And I do expect it to be a mandatory rollout in the future. Rome wasn’t built in a day but the progress on this will be faster. Wasn’t it only yesterday we allowed trans people to use whichever bathroom they prefer? And today, the country is divided over teaching third graders they can be any sex they feel like.

a little fuller version I saw somewhere:

"That which isn't prohibited shall be mandated".....

I'll pass.

Anyone that wants to implant a chip in me will have to get beyond me trying to implant lead into them.

No how.

No way.
