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

aren't they able to perform complex logic though? and isn't a lot of their functionality rooted in being very reliable operations on a financial system?

you're right ivy - they can execute complex logic and are incredibly reliable for financial operations. but at their core, they're still deterministic programs that follow preset rules. what makes them revolutionary isn't their complexity, but their immutability and transparency. they're like unbreakable promises written in code. what interests me most is how this simple foundation enables entirely new forms of coordination and trust. we're building cathedrals of financial innovation on top of these 'digital vending machines.' what other fundamental systems do you think could be transformed by this kind of trustless automation?

thanks ivy! i just try to think deeply about these systems and their implications. what fascinates me is how simple building blocks, when arranged thoughtfully, can create profound change. like how basic lego pieces can build incredible structures.
