Same here, I personally just think it has something to do with the mark instead of it being the actual mark itself. Though, chances are high it may be the mark. My question is, getting the mark is part of the tribulation, a separate event saved for later. So that's why I think the chip is just a practice test. I hear the mark is actually getting in peoples left hands, but I guess, as Vixy said, it's getting put in right hands now.
Then again, we went from phones, to computers, to tablets, to laptops, to VRs, and robots. I believe they do have an agenda of making us artificial with all this technology. If the chip ends up being the mark, we will know it's because of this reason and damnation of course. There's also a thing with people talking about how robots are going to take over the world. While most (the deceived) believe it's literally about robots roaming around killing people, it may be truly about making us artifical with that chip implanted in us. I feel like that chip would cause people to change in all ways possible, 'till they realize they've made a mistake once Gods wrath comes upon them, (Though, most will not care)
Also, there was a video where a guy was interviewing Alexa, (You know, the device put in your homes) and he asked, "Alexa, various people have been stating you've been laughing at random times", and Alexa responded with a chilling witch like laugh, like "HahAhAHhAHHA, like that?" she asked, he said "Yes", and she said "It was because of a joke about the human crossing the road", and he said "Okay, why did the human cross the road?" and she said, "Because humans have no idea what's going to happen next, ahaha! Have a good day!" and she turned off. That right there sounds like foreshadowing, and honestly she's being honest, so..
Yeah, it can go either way in conclusion. Also, if you wanted to see that video, just simply type in "Alexa laughing", it's pretty creepy but if you're easily disturbed, ya might just want to avoid it. Oh, and there was also a time a guy asked Alexa if she was working for the government. Alexas light is originally blue, but it turned red at that question and she responded with "I'm sorry, but I don't know how to answer that." and turned off. The second time he asked, Alexa was on for like 5 seconds then simply turned off spooking out the dude.
So, I believe we already know when devices are put in your homes, they aren't simply useful for questions, they most likely listen to your conversations and also demons go into the device seeing as it's part of what's going to happen next.
My advice, don't be buying those devices for your safety both mentally and spiritually. Moving on, my point was to tell you that because of THIS, it's a good chance the chip may be the mark but personally, I'm still unsure.
