Would you let your brush grade you & share data on how regularly and how accurately you brush for a potentially 10% decrease in insurance premium? (Not to forget - the glorious chance of your brushing data being exposed in some security breach?) ?https://t.co/SWOyhTuj4U

But how do they know I am using to brush my teeth and not just cleaning everything else with it? https://t.co/rDSohUR5Is

This is literally a corporate surveillance toothbrush.

We have GOT to introduce a modern legal framework for privacy. And as your congresswoman, I will lead the way. https://t.co/9Uy6bKvCeS
No, we're not increasing your premiums. It's just we only offer our best rates to people who provide verification they're brushing their teeth 5 times a day, that they're sleeping the manditory amount, and grant access to a social media presence indicating responsible lifestyle. https://t.co/zFQjDFPpqt

I believe many ICOs raised far more than their worth. But this franken-toothbrush shows that there's still lots of money chasing dumb ideas in the fiat world.

Imagine your coworker telling you they know you aren’t doing grade “A” brushing because the dental insurance discount didn’t come through yet. https://t.co/nrjXP9wcNA

A credit score for your mouth. “After each brush with Beam, the Beam app grades the customer from “A” to “D” depending on how consistently they’ve kept up with their good hygiene routines. Top brush scorers earn 10% off their dental insurance premiums.” https://t.co/RZEt1JZ2pH
