It would be very expensive to insure something that has a high risk. Actually, to keep the premium affordable, the insurance company uses "the law of large numbers" to minimize the variance of a risk.

For example for life insurance: from country population data, 5% of people would die because of an unnatural cause in the next 20 years. Then the insurer would simply design a product that could gather a large number of people to "share" the risk. The bigger the better to minimize the variance to get the 5% for further premium calculation.

Without "the law of large numbers" and low risk, you will end up paying a stupid amount of premium. Just like CR7's legs.

Well, how much you lost on the "Bitcoin's Black Friday"?
I decided to hodl since the middle of the year, was pretty tired of following this rigmarole. Now I'm sad to see the current rates.
I heard there's kinda insurance schemes for saving your assets, does anyone know more?

insurance schemes, for protecting from market moves? no such thing. nobody provides that kind of insurance, especially in the crypto world. the only thing you can really do is hedge your holdings by shorting or selling. i hedge by selling futures contracts on bitmex with leverage---that way i can minimize the amount of funds deposited on exchanges.

What do you mean by "insurance shcemes"?Keeping your asstes safe from theft or keeping their price/value from a price crash?If you mean the second option,then btc futures contracts and shorting are they only way to keep the bitcoin price in a bearish market.Anyway,futures contracts and shorting will cost you a small fee.

If I were to ask, I think there is nobody who would offer insurance for cryptocurrency. A volatile investment is not that effective to be insured and would possibly a deficit for the insurance company's assets.
Every real investment needs an insurance. Instead of this we'll have the pachinko market like to play and win/ or not

To be honest, it sounds almost impossible for me.
I honestly cannot imagine how it should be done and who's going to bear such a responsibility.

sold at $205, but didn't lost much
as for insurance, i can say that it's pretty hard to implement. it'll take long time to establish the whole crypto-related insurance system, there're many nuances an so on. anyway, just my opinion

Looks like it's the question of time.
Even for the well-established third party companies, innit? Still curious about this thing tho
