Bitcoin in Your Bloodstream [Implants Offer A New Kind of “Warm” Storage]

in #bitcoin5 years ago




Some People Bleed Bitcoin...



It's true, crypto cyborgs are upon us! But really, cryptocurrency storage is a trending topic and a lot of options are on the table. You might have heard the phrase - "not your keys not your crypto" - meaning, if you are not the owner of the keys to your digital assets they are not truly yours. There are many ways to store these new resources; on an exchange, a desktop wallet, or cold storage in a thumb-drive. In a quest for the perfect storage option, some are resorting to more extreme methods of HODLing.


Bodyhackers


In 2014, Martijn Wismeijer inserted a xNT NFC Chip into his hand which contained Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin and Darkcoin. While certainly subtle and largely undetectable, Wismeijer made a point to say that this was not his long-term storage option - citing security concerns over the publicity he received at the time.

Now, a journalist at Coindesk - Bailey Reutzel - has taken the plunge. Read more about her deep dive and a 14-gauge needle, click here. Should we embed our assets in our bodies? Do you think there's a future in hacking our bodies?

interesting.
Reminds me of that vial of DNA with 1 BTC encrypted in it given out during a World Economics conference in 2016. (if I remember correctly)

Nobody ever claimed it before the expiration in december 2017 (I only discovered it q couple of dqys before the deadline, or I'd have tried to convinced someone in the Uni with access to a sequencer to give it a go with me)

Reading the post title I thought someone had literally put it in their DNA XD

Not entirely sure if this is uber clever or if it totally creeps me out. #wondering
