My position on Ethereum is that it will never be a general-use currency for human beings. Logically rigid contracts are not a feature that people really want. We've built entire judicial systems around the idea that contracts are malleable and that judgments are often sought that take more into account than was known at the time of creation.
Ethereum may actually end up really shining as autonomous organizations become a real thing.

Even your "autonomous organizations" will need to deal with e.g. the halting problem, for example. http://cognet.mit.edu/book/heterogeneous-agent-systems http://cognet.mit.edu/book/heterogeneous-agent-systems [You want to read chapter 10.]
