Re: I just did a smart contract in Byteball : mind blow.
The hype in the Subject title of this thread also seems to be ignoring the reality that some of these things were possible with Bitcoin's scripts, others with CounterParty (not that I think CP is secure), Ethereum, etc...

First sentence :

Smart contract isn't something new, far from it.

Byteball fortuitously happened to have a script & protocol you wanted available in the wallet by default.

That is what is mind blowing, the user experience, not the technology.
I insisted enough on this.

That's how smart contracts should works : for a real use without being aware you're doing a smart contract.

I immediately noticed the use of a chatbot in byteball and I think that is visionary. I will let this video explain my view point on the matter :
Why Apps Won't Matter in the Future
(especially the part about chatbot)

Financial apps should be in the form of chatbot. It's already massively the case in China. Only the Occidental market ignore it but it's already here and huge.
