I think that it is a good idea.

However there is really no need for this, all you need is a smartphone.

This would also mean that it is easier for hackers to gain the private key of the person using this implant. I simply do not think that this is a good idea, and when you see credit card hackers just walking by with a harmless machine but actually extracting your credit card details, you get chills down your spine.

If somehow security can be achieved, then this is viable. But it is also a permanent commitment to bitcoin for whoever wishing to get this implant done.

Yeah. I know its a crazy idea, which may be harmful in every way, but in the meantime, I think that we will do fine with hardware wallets themselves. Implants may be useful, as they will always go with you within your body, but they pose many health and security risks. I believe that the waves transmitted from the implanted device would have a negative impact over your body in the long term, resulting in cancer or something bad that will cause you the death.

But, if manufacturers take these issues into consideration, they could develop a safer way for anyone to use implants and transact with their currency of choice, without the worries of the health implications it would have, as well as hackers trying to get over your hard-earned money. This would greatly enhance its ability to become used in the mainstream world at some point in the future.

Only time will tell if this really gets adopted or not. Just my opinion. Grin
