> irreversibility is not a feature but a bug Completely true. Irreversibility and lack of consumer protections might just about fly for small transactions with pocket change which people on both sides of the transaction don't mind losing, but isn't going to be acceptable to most people for larger transactions. If I'm buying a house, for example, I don't want the risk of it being stolen because of an unfixable bug in a smart contract, or sold to the wrong person by an irreversible mistake entering the address. Scaling up further, if you look at the back office for any investment bank, a big chunk of people power is spend on trade reconciliation and essentially fixing human errors - this is a good thing for both parties making such transactions.
