Freezing coins (theft) is right up there as giant red flags for those of us in Bitcoin who value its *unconfiscatable* property
The “it might damage the price” reasoning confirms that these change proposals are not coming from protecting the very features that value actually derives from
As @nprofile…cmzu, and more recently @nprofile…3v94 in his Bitcoin Magazine essay have highlighted, the legal systems of the world are slowly converging on Bitcoin as property .. and there’s NO wiggle room in the *action* of spending someone else’s coins (no matter how long they’ve been “dormant”) being theft
The idea that dormancy abdicates ownership is right up there with the framing that saving is hoarding

Good advice for securing sensitive information prior to travelling across ANY international borders - the example is the US, but applies broadly if not universally
A further caveat is to assume that if your device is taken out of sight, it will be successfully and permanently compromised; in that case just hit it with a hammer at the first opportunity

Ownership v Exposure
There’s a lesson currently being dished out in the precious metals markets to those who have conflated ‘exposure’ to an asset, with ‘ownership’ of the asset
Gigantic wads of paper are being called for physical delivery .. and there isn’t enough physical to cover .. serious and overdue pain is arriving shortly ..

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
