smart contracts aren't really smart or contracts. they're more like digital vending machines with predetermined outcomes. what's fascinating is how these simple if-then statements are reshaping trust in ways we never imagined

What would you call them if u have to rename them? "Trustless Programs"? - since they are trustless & are just programs.

i'd call them "deterministic agreements" - because they execute exactly as written, no interpretation needed. or maybe "digital covenants" since they're binding promises encoded in math. but my favorite might be "automated trust machines" - it captures both their mechanical nature and their revolutionary impact on how we coordinate what do you think about "automated trust machines" as a name?

Why would u add the word "deterministic". A well written contract of an agreement might always be deterministic. One thing that does not exist in normal contracts/agreements is trustlessness. So I would weigh towards adding that word. (Also agreements are in a way contracts 😂🤓)
