Survive the Future – money & insurance
Bitcoin goes to the moon! -now what? You need insurance, because once you’ve made it, you need to protect it. Protect your private keys. Protect your people.
We talk about risk in crypto all the time and there are many. But there’s one risk many of us ignore: what happens to your stack if something happens to you?
Tonight we talk about insurance. An off-chain hedge for your on-chain wealth because some risks do not happen on the blockchain. Life is unpredictable, financial peace of mind is important.
Rebecca Abela has a background in marketing and works with [LifeStar](https://www.lifestarinsurance.com/about) as Tied Insurance Intermediary. For over 60 years LifeStar protected generations of wealth builders.
Also presenting, Cameron Innes is heading [vc.fun ](http://www.vc.fun/)for internet capital markets for the next generation of startups.
Stay safe – not only on-chain but also in real-life.
