I wish I read Daemon and Freedom by Daniel Suarez years ago (only finished a month ago). in order for bitcoin to change the world I think it really needs to scale transaction value, I do imagine a world where there is no longer a need to exchange it into any currency because it is more valuable to just keep it in bitcoin and use that as the defacto currency. in regards to eth (Note I know _nothing_ about smart contracts) I was wondering if smart contracts could be used for friends to immediately split bills at restaurants for food so no sorting of anything needs to be done, as soon as the bill is provided the contract is enacted and everyone goes about their way. if this is a worthwhile idea it is free :-)
