So this is going to affect mobile wallets and stuff?

Its an interesting idea, but everything I've seen so far indicates that this wallets are not going to be used to hold large volumes of money... enough to pay for things like bus tickets, bread and milk etc... so the small everyday purchases.

If it stays that way these guys are going to need to do massive volume for it to be worth it in the long term purely because them stealing even a small amount will be noticed.
