Today it's a joke

Tomorrow is reality

Then you're cattle branded with a microchip

"Cattle branded with Microchip"

This was mostly science fiction at a time but is fast becoming a reaity. Corporations in their bid for profit and optimum use of "Human Resources" are going to apply these methods.
I once watched a Microsoft executive present their IoT solution for monitoring workforce and using Data Analytics on them. The idea was supposed to be implemented on the workforce in a huge container handling port. The proposed solution involved every worker wearing this radio-tag that would monitor and record their movements and upload coordinate data of every worker to a central server.

A manager could then analyse the data to determine work patterns of their crew by seeing how many and who deviated from the norm. The system would feed continuous coordinated of the crew. Voila..Forget about coffee breaks or going behind a container to smoke a few cigarettes with your fellows to relax..

The thing is that Govts and corporations are always looking for ways and means to ensure that the working class and middle class keep working their asses off for the elites. Banking regulations, Biometric records are just the beginning. Owning money that has inherent value and not because the Govt says it is the first step of ensuring that the masses always have a chance to fight back.

That is why we Bitcoin. Do You Bitcoin? Cool
