MICRO CHIPPING: New microchip implants that let you pay with your hand

The use of physical cash has been declining for years, but this trend only accelerated during the pandemic when contactless became the name of the game.

However, hundreds of people are deciding to go much further than simply foregoing chip and pin⁠—by getting a microchip implanted into their skin which can be used instead of a credit card.

British-Polish company Walletmor became the first company to offer NFC (near-field communication) payment chips last year, and claims to have already sold more than 500 of them to willing customers.

The chips can be used anywhere that accepts contactless payments and are considered medically safe.

Walletmor CEO Wojtek Paprota told the BBC: "The implant can be used to pay for a drink on the beach in Rio, a coffee in New York, a haircut in Paris - or at your local grocery store."

He added: "Chip implants contain the same kind of technology that people use on a daily basis. From key fobs to unlock doors, public transit cards like the London Oyster card, or bank cards with contactless payment function."

Those who have had a chip implanted say they get 'priceless' reactions from cashiers. A self-proclaimed biohacker from the Netherlands, Patrick Paumen said that "the procedure hurts as much as when someone pinches your skin."

Currently, the chips only store information locally, don't require a power source, and don't keep much private data on them.

However, some are concerned that they could be used in future as a surveillance tool that tracks people

Professor Nada Kakabadse told the BBC: "There is a dark side to the technology that has a potential for abuse. To those with no love of individual freedom, it opens up seductive new vistas for control, manipulation and oppression.

Hope it doesn't come to be in Nigeria, before amputation will be the new form of snatching/robbery

Nothing is being hidden anymore!
They know it's almost time and they putting it all out in our Faces.

Revelation 13:16-17
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name
.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Behold the Mark of the Beast technology live!!
This is a test run of the Mark of the Beast System.

The RAPTURE is anymoment, any second, Anyday.
I take GOD beg u. Repent from all your sins and Surrender to JESUS Christ so as to escape what is about to hit the earth.

Damn!
There seems to be no limit to the height technology cannot reach.

As soon as this is ethically accepted in the West, the rest will be history.

Na who get money for transactions go even contemplate if the microchip is needed undecided. Since a vast number of Africans are living in poverty, they shouldn't worry about the chip.
