Well it was still a foreign thing floating around in my hand. Back then I still trained bjj/mma and I was always slightly nervous it would break or pinch a muscle or something. Since it was of no use anyway, I figured it'd be better to take it out. Re: memory, what would be a useful use case for having a few kb of data under your skin? It's not enough to store e.g. crucial documents, plus you need a custom reader. When I got it, I thought 'uses will pop up when I have one'. Turns out they didn't, and it wasn't for lack of trying. Most people have come to the same conclusion. (Amal Graafstra, one of the earliest people who did it and blogged about it, made a career out of it - but that's only realistic for the first person to do it)
