I'll give you another use case. Cryptocurrencies are essentially programmable money. You can't write a computer program with a bank account atm but you can with bitcoin.
You can have your auto-driving car to go fill up it's tank or pay someone to service it.You can write a computer program that hires a developer to improve it or a million other things.
- sanderjd 9y ago> You can't write a computer program with a bank account atm but you can with bitcoin. Is that true? Surely there is at least one bank with an API? I don't see any fundamental reason there wouldn't or couldn't be. But maybe you're right that this sort of thing just isn't in the DNA of banks, while it's totally up the alley of the blockchain enthusiast programmer community. Still, I wonder: if this were to become a common and important thing, couldn't banks fairly easily add it to the services they offer?
