Are you serious? If you put the chip on a plastic card, then it becomes a standard credit card. The idea is to embed the chip on you, so you don't have to carry a credit card. It's literally the same standard chip.
- walrus01 6y agoYes, my point was to illustrate the ridiculousness of the concept. Get something implanted in yourself that will probably be obsolete in less than 10 years.
- musingsole 6y agoPacemakers are like that. For a much more serious problem, but likewise the surgery in this case is mundane and low risk. While methods to attack these could be developed, until they are and are applied to you, you'd have a fallback payment method if you were mugged or otherwise inconvenienced.
- EveYoung 6y agoI guess it's a "cool" gadget for a very niche group of people. Maybe it's just me, but getting a large RFID chip injected seems like a fairly invasive procedure.
- 2muchcoffeeman 6y agoGiven the implant is just under your skin, if this became popular, and I mugged you and was desperate, I'd just cut it out.
