Decentraliza+on: Everyone shares the same database
This is the problem that Blockchain Solves
No: Controls Security Authority Consensus
YES: Faster Cheaper Easier Fairer
ALSO: Lying, Chea2ng, Stealing
![Page 8: Problems)and)Opportuni2es)for) Bitcoin)and)Blockchain ... · Problems)and)Opportuni2es)for) Bitcoin)and)Blockchain)Technologies) in)the)Insurance)Industry)) Daniel)R.)Robles,)PE,)MIB))](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042223/5ec9efa37ad6d538803eba66/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Let’s summarize the problems and opportuni+es that lay before us:
• How different to insure a decentralized business? • Isn’t the insurance industry a huge database? • If you take the human out, What regula2ons needed? What’s not, What’s interfering?
• Finally, how do real world interac2on change?
![Page 9: Problems)and)Opportuni2es)for) Bitcoin)and)Blockchain ... · Problems)and)Opportuni2es)for) Bitcoin)and)Blockchain)Technologies) in)the)Insurance)Industry)) Daniel)R.)Robles,)PE,)MIB))](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042223/5ec9efa37ad6d538803eba66/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1. Can I iden2fy the risk exposure?
2. What is the probability that the peril will get me?
3. If it does get me, what are the consequences?
Engineers are Risk Managers

1. The Byzan2ne General’s Dilemma
2. The Secret Handshake
3. The Time Keeper
Bitcoin is a 3-‐Trick Pony
![Page 12: Problems)and)Opportuni2es)for) Bitcoin)and)Blockchain ... · Problems)and)Opportuni2es)for) Bitcoin)and)Blockchain)Technologies) in)the)Insurance)Industry)) Daniel)R.)Robles,)PE,)MIB))](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042223/5ec9efa37ad6d538803eba66/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

1. Vote on the vote 2. Metcalff’s law; value of the network is propor2onal to square of the nodes 3. Rules: 100% consensus otherwise retreat
1st Trick: The Byzan+ne General’s Dilemma
![Page 13: Problems)and)Opportuni2es)for) Bitcoin)and)Blockchain ... · Problems)and)Opportuni2es)for) Bitcoin)and)Blockchain)Technologies) in)the)Insurance)Industry)) Daniel)R.)Robles,)PE,)MIB))](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042223/5ec9efa37ad6d538803eba66/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Comparing this to our three ques+ons: 1. Yes, we can iden2fy the risk exposure 2. Yes, we can calculate the probability of failure
3. Yes, we know the consequences of failure
Yes, the first trick is insurable, so far so good!!

2nd Trick: The Secret Handshake
(mul2-‐key Cryptography)
![Page 16: Problems)and)Opportuni2es)for) Bitcoin)and)Blockchain ... · Problems)and)Opportuni2es)for) Bitcoin)and)Blockchain)Technologies) in)the)Insurance)Industry)) Daniel)R.)Robles,)PE,)MIB))](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042223/5ec9efa37ad6d538803eba66/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Comparing this to our three ques+ons:
1. Yes, we can see the risk exposure 2. Yes, we can calculate the probability of failure 3. Yes, the consequences of failure can be
determined.
Therefore, trick #2 is also insurable. Things are looking up!
Probability of failure = (possible answers)^n

Comparing this to our three ques+ons:
1. Yes, we can see the risk exposure
2. Yes, we can calculate the probability of failure
3. Yes, the consequences of failure can be determined.
Therefore, trick #3 is also insurable. Wow, this is one Clever Pony!!

…Well, actually this is where the problems start…
What exactly are bitcoins?
Are they money?
Are they property?
![Page 22: Problems)and)Opportuni2es)for) Bitcoin)and)Blockchain ... · Problems)and)Opportuni2es)for) Bitcoin)and)Blockchain)Technologies) in)the)Insurance)Industry)) Daniel)R.)Robles,)PE,)MIB))](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042223/5ec9efa37ad6d538803eba66/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
According to Uniform Commercial Code, Title 9, The Defini2on Of Money:
"Money" means a medium of exchange currently authorized or adopted by a domes#c or foreign government”.
RM ques2ons: • No, Bitcoin is not money • What’s the probability that gov’t will decentralize monetary policy? • What are the consequences if they did?
![Page 23: Problems)and)Opportuni2es)for) Bitcoin)and)Blockchain ... · Problems)and)Opportuni2es)for) Bitcoin)and)Blockchain)Technologies) in)the)Insurance)Industry)) Daniel)R.)Robles,)PE,)MIB))](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042223/5ec9efa37ad6d538803eba66/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Is it Property?
• Discreet units or made of inseperable parts • Title to the property travels with the property • Transac2ons are traceable
Actually: • Bitcoin divisible into many parts • Title to bitcoin does not travel with bitcoin • Bitcoin are anonymous
Assump2ons:

E&I Blockchain
Bitcoin 1.0 was an experiment Bitcoin 2.0 Banking (ground fault dilemma)
Proposal: To bring the engineering profession into close alliance with the insutance industry to develop a secure decentralized blockchain where virtual assets actually represent physical assets.
Develop adjudicated smart contract structures for infrastructure, i.e., Least Common Denominator upon which everything depends
Develop means to assure that the right adjudicator is signing the right contracts.
