Just as a matter of history: - BTC was originally intended to support smart contracts - but people pitched “digital gold” because they didn’t understand that vision - then the capability was removed for “safety” - and then later ETH came along (with a different model), but one that still is too costly for general compute trade and which is inflated by the gimped-BTC bubble - we’re watching that fools gold bubble pop - and new ideas about compute for sale emerge [1] And in the near future: - eventually, tokens will represent real things with the interop currency being the one for buying compute time [1] - eg, https://github.com/lucasgleba/zkRiscV https://github.com/lucasgleba/zkRiscV
