I think one of the problems is, you assume I have a more firm grasp on the full meaning (and implication of that meaning) of terms like "semi-smart contract" and "SADO" than I actually do. Please explain like this is the first time the listener has ever heard those phrases. Like I said, I'm generally opposed to overlaying things not "transfer money from A to B" on the blockchain so I admittedly have ignored all discussions on that line. I put enough time into hardware without getting mixed up in philosophy.

That said, my philosophy on "money" disagrees with the statement that "money is the destination of everything". Money, to me, is a tool just like anything else. It's a construct that allows me to turn stuff into different stuff, and effort into reward. Money is not the goal, money is a means of translating work and stuff into the goal - whatever that goal may be. But yeah, most agreements or contracts do hinge on turning work into money or stuff into money, which for one side is work into money and the other side money into the goal. I've just never liked the idea of "having lots of money" being the goal in itself, because money is useless by definition if it's not being used.
