In the book of Revelation, John alludes to the Old Testament between 200 and 1,000 times, depending what scholar you ask. When you see an animal walking around that fits that description, please let me know. Have you ever heard a dragon speak? No, you haven’t. Likewise, people who want to only “read the bible literally” should remember that the beast has “two horns like lamb and speaks like a dragon” (Rev 13:11). Third, the mark of the beast is not something anyone will receive by accident, but rather the mark will be accompanied by worship of the Beast (Revelation 14:6). So, from a literal reading of the text, unless there is a “beast” requiring people to get a mark that says “666”, it isn’t the mark of the beast.

Without looking far down into the comments on the video (a practice which I usually avoid at all costs) you can find Christians are calling the chip “the mark of the beast.” Likewise, people have whole YouTube channels devoted to “exposing” the microchip implant as the mark of the beast. You should actually watch the video - it is pretty great.
This BuzzFeed video follows around a guy named Charlie who actually is able to pay with things using only the chip implanted into his hand. People are now able to have chips implanted into their hands as a way to replace everything that goes into a wallet: credit cards, debit cards, ID cards, etc. Technology is quickly advancing and this is a beautiful thing.
