Do you see no value in throwing these "dumb contracts" out there and seeing what happens? An expensive experiment for the speculators, but we got to the moon on a roman candle iterated a billion times, so I'm personally just curious about these programmable organizations of digitalized willpower.

I agree. It's software. Lots of software sucks and is buggy and vulnerable. Sometimes mission-critical software sucks and is buggy and vulnerable and causes catastrophes when it fails. A lot of it's malware. A lot of it's inefficient and/or useless.

But a lot of it's good, and more good things will come out over time. It's currently the equivalent of like 1998 in the smart contract space right now.
