Bitcoin as Insurance: Why Most Crypto Doesn’t Fit Insurance Models
Do crypto and insurance really align? At first glance, the answer is no—most crypto assets are simply too volatile to play the conservative role that insurers need. But there’s one exception: Bitcoin.
In this talk, I break down why Bitcoin functions as an insurance policy against monetary and fiscal irresponsibility by governments and central banks worldwide. As currencies are consistently debased through money-printing, ordinary people struggle more each year just to cover the basics—food, shelter, transportation. Bitcoin provides a hedge against that erosion of purchasing power.
Key takeaways:
Most crypto assets are too volatile to align with insurance models.
Bitcoin is different: it serves as insurance against inflation and currency debasement.
Central banks and governments consistently devalue money through poor monetary policy.
For everyday people, financial stability comes down to the basics—roof, food, work.
Bitcoin offers a safeguard for insurers (and individuals) against systemic financial risk.
At its core, Bitcoin isn’t just speculation—it’s protection.
