Good idea having an insurance with my crypto, interesting. I'm just confused with the two tokens so you mean that there's a token swap once the platform is ready or both them will circulate in the market? Hmmm. And also regarding the insurance, are you planning to do other kinds of insurance? Say life, other business etc.
As for the 2 kinds of tokens:- Black Platform Tokens (BLCK) are utility tokens. Issuing policies, handling claims and other transactions cost users Black utility tokens (BLCK). There is a finite amount of BLCK, and the only way to transact on Black is to buy BLCK from holders on exchanges.
- Black Syndicate Tokens (BSTx) are securities tokens, and will be issued next year, when we have become a licensed insurance carrier. Syndicates issue BSTx tokens in ICO-s and invest the proceeds in various insurance products, created by the users of Black platform.
Now, what are Syndicates? Syndicates are groups of insurance professionals that create ICO-s on the Black platform, and invest in insurance products, also listed on the Black platform. For instance, some entrepreneur creates a crypto wallet insurance, and a syndicate invests in this product. The product can be now traded, and should it make profits, BSTx token investors share the profits.
Why don't investors invest directly in insurance products? Because managing an insurance product is a professional activity, requiring underwriting, actuary, claims handling and adjustment, and reporting capabilities. This is what Syndicate takes care of, in addition to selecting a well balanced portfolio of different insurance products to invest in.
Other kinds of insurance:Black platform is product agnostic - users can list any type of product. Life, property, liability etc. It's up to Syndicates to select which products they invest in, and to Investors to decide which Syndicate they fund in ICO-s.
What kind of insurance are you offering here? And if a person will use your platform, does he have to give all the details?
