How about save up in Monero, that's your insurance.
@mimblewimbler @Insurgeon
I've often wondered about this and I've come to the conclusion that such products must exist if you're plugged deep enough into the criminal market.
Medical services, dental plans, concierge services, one-off insurances, etc ..
These are all markets that criminals need and no doubt they exist.
@Insurgeon @mimblewimbler
Some percentage of every population are essentially stateless, unbanked, passportless, etc..
Some of those are criminals and some do quite well while existing outside of government ID.
Off-the-book services for fake ID's and whatever else is needed to secure accomodation, or other ID-dependent services for daily life certainly exist.
A global black market estimated at $1.6 to $2.2 trillion annually couldn't exist without it.
