A Field Manual for Health, Liability, and the Gaps Nobody Insures

It replaces insurance blindness with compliance-ready documentation for crypto residents.

The Crypto Holder's Insurance Guide

Why this manual exists

Spain’s insurance system does not see a crypto holder. It sees a risk class, a pre-contractual questionnaire, and a contents schedule — all drafted before your income structure existed.

What this guide solves

The two doors into Spanish healthcare. The Convenio Especial (€60/month under 65) versus the private policy. The 1,080-day myth that costs readers a year of waiting on the wrong instrument. Chapter 2 maps which one applies to you.

The declaration trap. The four questionnaire answers — profession, income, activity, prior claims — that decide whether a claim is paid or voided under Ley 50/1980 Art. 10. The exact Spanish wording for each. Chapter 3 walks all four.

Electronic-device sub-limits, insurer by insurer. Mapfre (5% of furniture sum, €6,000 cap), Mutua Madrileña (€1,500 per claim), AXA (optional schedule, €100 franchise), Zurich GO (€6,000 high-value threshold). Chapter 5 explains why your €40,000 hardware wallet is paid out as a €1,500 laptop.

Questions before you buy

Is the Convenio Especial really €60 per month?
Yes — for the healthcare Convenio. Real Decreto 576/2013 sets the premium at €60 under 65, €157 at 65 and over, unchanged as of September 2026. Eligibility requires one continuous year of effective residence, empadronamiento, and no other public-healthcare entitlement.
Does my home insurance cover a stolen hardware wallet?
The device, up to the electronic-device sub-limit. The crypto value, no. Sub-limits vary by insurer: €1,500 per claim at Mutua Madrileña, up to €6,000 via Mapfre’s Todo Riesgo Tecnológico rider.
Can an insurer void my policy because I earn in crypto?
Only if a questionnaire answer is a material misrepresentation under Ley 50/1980 Art. 10. Declaring IT consulting as your primary profession and disclosing crypto conversion as rendimientos del capital mobiliario in the observaciones field removes the invalidation lever.
What is the difference between this and the Bank Playbook?
The Bank Playbook handles the banking perimeter — how to keep money working when a bank closes the door. The Insurance Guide handles the insurance perimeter — how to keep coverage working when a claim is filed.
