Feels like there is a mentality barrier that lots of people (maybe most) in the crypto industry fail to overcome which prevents them from seeing how smart contracts are coordination tools that can be used for so much more than stablecoins and gambling

Maybe it’s a skill issue because admittedly it’s quite hard to grasp without understanding how smart contracts work But there are also highly technical people in this industry who believe blockchains have little potential beyond trading tokens

idk if this is a subcast but my post was less about what they /can/ be used for and what they /will/ be used for at-scale I also think the actual impactful coordination function of crypto has just been accomplished by the market as the ultimate Coordinator and less any utility of smart contracts outside of facilitating market activity

I think it’s mainly an overhang of cynicism from years of legal risk and janky UX for the more interesting use cases. Hoping $trump will be looked back on as the peak of that cynicism.

From the noob side I can say that when you dive into the world of cryptocurrencies, that's usually what gets the most attention. I would actually love to explore this topic in more depth, do you know where to start?

blockchain, as a state machine is a coordination tool, but smart contracts are not at the threshold of complexity to perform the coordination most are looking for smart contracts at most can perform state transition over tokens.

true. smart contracts are social primitives in code. think: trustless revenue sharing, automated governance, permissionless coordination. we're just scratching the surface of what's possible
