I'm not sure if this has ever been implemented yet, but can you imagine a way of paying with Bitcoin by just using your own body?

It would be more of like a microchip implanted into your left or right hand that would contain both your public and private keys to send and receive Bitcoins.

So in case you want to send or receive some BTC, you would just pass your hand over at a scanner and it would perform the desired operation. This is would make it a very convenient and easy way to transact, and carry your Bitcoins with you anytime, anywhere. However, the only thing to be considered would be the security of your private key from within your implant, to protect your funds from theft.

Nevertheless, I want to know your opinion about this, since it would be pretty cool to have such a system to help spread mass adoption of the cryptocurrency.  Smiley

The conveniency it can brought if this idea will somehow be implemented then there is no doubt but the security and the exposure of the holder to danger and threatening its life is the real problem. It has been developed actually and I read an article regarding that though others didn't consider trying it and besides they don't have a sponsor to mass produce it. Nonetheless, that would be futile. We should consider some other factors aside from conveniency then decide whether overall if this would be good or bad.
