Is Bitcoin insurance company a good idea?

[ambar33n]

I don't know how a bitcoin bank would work but a bitcoin insurance company might be something to pursue. The idea is that premiums are worked out based on the risk of losing wallets and the rate of fraud with PayPal chargebacks and other calamities that could cause a loss of your wealth. You would pay a premium each month and cover a set rate of any losses you suffer.

Would you pay an insurance premium for such a service with bitcoins and what measures would the insurance company need to take to protect its members from fraudulent claims ?

If my wallet would be big enough I would take the insurance if it existed and only costed a small percentages of what I have.

The only problem is, how would the insurance company verify if you indeed lose your wallet?
How could they see if the amount you take the insurance for is really the amount you own?

I could take an insurance for 100.000BTC and than claim I lost my wallet.
How would you verify that this is true and not that I had only 50BTC at the moment I lost my wallet, or that I even lost it.

I know a company in Abu Dhabi (UAE) provides bitcoin insurance for up to 80% recovery. Not sure how everything works.

The idea is certainly interesting, but how all this can be realized, it will be difficult to do as I think
