Log in to ReplyI spoke to a few friends in the insurance industry today in the US. I wanted their thoughts on the Insurepal business model as I am a heavy investor in the token. We compared the IPL business model to a business model that exists today, co-signing. The use of Blockhain Technology, resolves real world issues because the platform built could make the transaction data efficient, secure, and allow the social proof platform to provide a new standard of “co-signing”. This not only boosts user interaction but it also provides businesses a New “sale” oppurtunity. This boosts token use in the crypto world. The new generation which will use the platform can accumulate reward tokens and watch them grow in price. In the Insurance world, they agree Insurepal makes the social proof model efficient, and brings a new technological advancement to the insurance industry.
