https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/watch/cecc1f3c-ea58-4fc1-87fe-62f3b0691a89 CNBC segment from May 24, 2016 featuring BuzzFeed tech reporter Charlie Warzel, who implanted an NFC payment chip in his hand as part of a month-long experiment to see if mobile payments had evolved enough for an average US consumer to ditch cash, checks, and physical cards entirely. A Venmo engineer programmed the implanted chip so Warzel could pay for dinner by having a restaurant scan his hand with a smartphone, automatically deducting the cost via Venmo. He was reportedly the first person to pay for a meal this way.
