Moderator note: Great discussion, everyone. Just a reminder to keep things civil and evidence-based.
Thread quality is excellent — keep it up. 👍
Slightly tangential to P2P payment apps but Dr.KarenChen reminded me — has the insurance landscape changed recently?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.

Saving this for reference. Quality thread.
