Bitcoin is the free market alternative to banks and government money. How can we do a free market alternative to insurance companies? Insurance is the natural enemy of public harms like the junk food industry. It could even proactively protect our personal safety and health. The problem is, just like banks, current insurance companies are behemoths that are entwined in the system and lobby the government to stifle competition and innovation. We need free market insurance that is independent of government institutions, just like Bitcoin.

Scornful Bovid has an interesting approach. If I got it right they pool people to similar risk categories and then you kinda insure each other. Lot of discussion on it in 196:th Bitcoin Standard podcast. The model is not exactly clear though. Hard to understand from European perspective. Free market perspective prediction markets/gambling might be the way to go?
