How is it an "emerging area?" It came out in 2008. In the tech world that is a lifetime.

Smart contracts came out in 2015 on Ethereum apparently. What came out in 2008? Bitcoin 1.0? Things do move fast in tech, you may want to keep up with the latest versions before writing off the web saying you've got it figured out based on your experience with the Mosaic browser. Sometimes opinions need updating too, everything evolves.

Yes, I was referring to blockchain and bitcoin rather than ‘smart’ contracts.
