If you make a transaction with a virtual credit or debit card on a smartwatch by waving your smartwatch over a payment terminal, would that constitute "using the Mark of the Beast?"

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. — Revelation chapter 13:16–17

So if I load my credit and debit card numbers into my smartwatch, wear it on my right hand, and wave said smartwatch over a payment terminal to make a sale or purchase, would that be considered "using the Mark of the Beast?"

Well, what if I put that transactable smartwatch on my left hand and then use it to transact?

No, it's only if you tape your credit card to your wrist and use that.

Jokes aside, no.

They said that about ssn too. Government can already track us all anyway, not sure what they would gain by chipping us.

No is the general, simple answer. It's no different than cash, or gold, or any other thing we ascribe value to beyond its actual utility.

Unless perhaps the government behind that payment system/currency requires you to do something extra and bans anyone from buying or selling unless they do _______ or take _________ or swear _________.
