Yes it does. A lot of people tend to brush over this aspect of BTC. The whole notion of smart contracts is really just an extension of the scripting capability introduced in BTC which some felt was far too limited.
- runeks 9y agoNot only that, but Bitcoin script was intentionally designed to be Turing incomplete, in order to allow static analysis of time/space complexity. Ethereum was invented to fill the space of a blockchain with a Turing-complete scripting language, which may or may not prove to be useful in the real world (in my opinion it hasn’t yet).
