Devices SO easy to use
Coloured devices smart
What’s on offer?
✅ multi-sig .. but with
✅ onchain-privacy .. and
✅ simple usb-c direct plug-in
What’s coming?
✅ ACTUAL key rotation - the capability to swap out one existing key for a new key .. within a quorum .. and WITHOUT an on-chain transaction 🤯 .. there’s some powerful implications there
Excited for future capabilities from coming software enhancements
Oh, and HNY 🥂🎉

Risk pooling is indeed the desired outcome; holding reserves in Bitcoin makes insurer’s operations considerably simpler
Long way to go to get there
And now, it’s a quagmire of broken incentives that pervert the objective of pooling risk in the first place

No, you don’t understand how insurance works; reserves are built up over time from policy contributions. Some of those are paid out in claims, and some used to acquire re-insurance to hedge the insurer’s risk .. but NONE of the policy contributions should ever be paid as dividends
If you’re curious, have a read on how Lloyds of London started, and in the absence of any other insurer, how they hedged their long tail risk
Insurance will work well in a bitcoin denominated world, premiums will reduce and the need for insurers to “actively manage” their reserves will significantly reduce

Insurance is NOT a scam
Publicly listed “insurance companies” are complete scams; go read Nick Szabo’s essay on this (Shelling out maybe?)
The creation of the company as a legal entity with capability to share risk and reward, occurred in the same timeline as insurance - the ability for a group to protect downside from long-tail risks - and together they unlocked more risk taking, and consequently great exploration and human flourishing
Where insurance stopped serving their core purpose was when they became public and the shareholders, rather than the policy holders, became the focus
Think about it .. no insurance company should EVER be publicly listed; it conflicts with, and undermines the core purpose
.. and so, arrive at the complete clusterfuck that publicly listed insurance companies now are

Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world
Privacy is a right
Privacy is YOUR right
Privacy is only antithetical to Orwellian-level surveillance; where you find governments pushing back on individuals' rights to privacy (yours!), remember that no good has ever arisen from mass surveillance

.. yeah .. “IP lawfare” ..
Ideas are NOT own-able as property, only the implementation of an idea ..
.. but legions of lawyers have worked hard over decades to subvert this basic tenet with patent ring-fencing strategies that ultimately cost huge amounts of $ to establish, to defend, and to challenge. This creates a huge legal moat for incumbents to prevent innovators and challengers entering their arena

In @nprofile…x696 ep114 with Adam Soltys from CoinOS, they laid out the two important elements that led to the success starting a circular economy in Vancouver
1. The incentives (bounty) to onboard a new vendor of a specific type that the *local* community sought; and that then enabled ..
2. The local community to immediately bring more, and new, business traffic to the business, validating their decision to onboard
The first part is important, but the second makes it stick.
