I agree, that was poor wording on my end... Thank you for the clarification. I should have said that it's very limited and much more difficult to use than Ethereum's smart contracts. I also wanted to avoid going into a deeper discussion that would involved the potential adoption of segwit, which would enable lightning networks and a bunch of other sidechains.

> I should have said that it's very limited and much more difficult to use than Ethereum's smart contracts. I think the biggest issue with Bitcoin Script is that only a subset of scripts is considered "standard" [0] and only standard transactions are propagated by the network. If you can find a miner that accepts non standard TX then it's fine and blockchain already contains some interesting transactions (like lottery [1]).
