Has there has ever been a technology more devoid of actual applications while getting as much funding as web3? Web in 99 was mostly clear utility stories. Some weren’t ready, some were. Nobody can explain how web3 shit creates actual utility. Just mumbling about new tech.

My view has been that insurance is the one application where I could really see how web3 serves it better than web2 but haven’t seen any projects take off (probably bc less lucrative than grifting)

There’s no real value / alpha for policyholders to have their insur. money pool managed by insur. cos. I see a logical case for instead pooling money through a DAO, investing the pool into agreed upon allocation of index & bonds, and then smart contracts for payouts

That’s where it gets above my pay grade- I think the DAO would “hire” or outsource to DAO service providers that have been popping up; outsourced adjusting sounds like better principal agent alignment than current model; probably can’t be a shittier UX than traditional insur.

Then there is nothing about this that requires blockchain. This is just a coop insurance company. This exists already.
