The argument is, it is year 1981 of internet in cryptocurrency world.
And rate of innovation in cryptocurrency might not be as breakneck as it was in networks. And it's mosaic is not yet written (this is all very obvious).
But smart contracts are going to be big, given enough time. Smart-everything requires them to work, and we want smart-everything.

Any thoughts on why that might be? It seems like there's a whole lot more people looking to carve out businesses in that space than there was in 1981, although I was -2 years old in '81 so I don't know for sure. There is definitively a lot more opportunity for globally-dispersed people to collaborate on things than there was in '81. > And it's mosaic is not yet written (this is all very obvious). I'm really excited to see the "Mosaic" of cryptocurrency, if it ever comes to pass. > But smart contracts are going to be big, given enough time. Smart-everything requires them to work, and we want smart-everything. I'm not sure I follow what "smart-everything" means, nor how smart contracts are required for that to happen. It seems like there's a lot of large companies who would be delighted if smart-everything was dependent on long-term subscriptions paid to centralized entities :)
