This is so braindamaged I don't even know where to start.
Isn't Bitcoin programmable money? Maybe I have the wrong information, but I know that I've heard Andreas say it many times. Is he wrong when he states that?
We need to develop the smart contracts so that we know that we don't need to trust anyone in a contract. When the conditions are met the money are released automatically.
What conditions? How does "the blockchain" magically know when they are met!? I take it you must have zero bitcoin because in order to trade you would have had to trust someone..
Well I know that Bitcoin is also being advertised as programmable money. Even if we don't have the tools now why do you think we will not have them in the future?
