ADutch bitcoin entrepreneur
has had two microchips containing the virtual curren cy injected
into his hands to help him make contactless payments. The chips,
enclosed in a 2mm by 12mm capsule of “biocompatible“ glass, were
injected by a professional using a special syringe. They emit a tiny
radio signal using Near Field Communication and can store up to 888 bits
of information each. “We wanted to do this experiment to push further
the concept of the virtual wallet,“ said Martijn Wismeijer, co-founder
of MrBitcoin which installs bitcoin cash distributors.Using NFC, the
chips can communicate with devices such as Android smartphones or
tablets.
“What's stored on the microchips should be seen as a savings account,“
rather than a current account,“ said Wismeijer. The payment device
remains the smartphone, but you transfer funds from the chips,“ said
Wismeijer, who was injected with the chips along with a handful of other
people on November 3. Besides storing bitcoins, the chips can be
programmed with a smartphone to do such things as open doors
electronically or turn an alarm clock off
if placed in a certain position.Around 1,500 people around the
world have already had such chips injected,
Wismeijer said, but he did not know how many carried
bitcoins. Such experiments are important to
make the technology acceptable to society, he said.
His experiment has garnered so much publicity that he has temporarily withdrawn the money from his hands for security reasons.
“The aim wasn't for everyone to know about it,“ he said.
