Embedded Chip = Subdermal Chip?

Forget stashing your cash under your mattress. Now you can stash it under your skin. Sort of.

The Telegraph reported Tuesday that Martijn Wismeijer, a Dutch innovator, recently implanted a 12-mm xNTi NFC chip in his body to store Bitcoin. The small glass chip stores 888 bytes and comes with a syringe for installation.

According the Dangerous Things site, the kit includes:

Glass chip preloaded in EO gas sterilized injector
A skin antiseptic
Gauze pads, a bandage, and non-latex surgical gloves
