Okay, but you didn’t answer my question. I’m not talking about the "dumbest user" - I’m talking about a regular person who is currently paid in dollars and understands how to use a debit card. What benefits does making money programmable provide that is not offset by this person having to take time out of their day to audit every transaction and understand how the code making up the transaction interacts with all of the systems it touches?

You got me. The tech is useless, it’s actually a giant fraud perpetrated by public traded corporations to steal our precious fluids. The miners are actually watt vampires. Numbers don’t actually exist, it was a trick invented by the ancients. Blockchains just convert pudding into breakfast. Enjoy meat juice day!

You don't have to be so defensive. Clearly there are issues with things like what happened here. It's like interacting with the website of your bank by sending assembler programs to transfer money. People won't be able to understand what it's doing.
When you stop worrying about that, and can actually start to deploy advanced technology for your advanced users.
You can weight your argument however you want, all technology will fail some class of user. Me, I’ve been playing with this and various tech for a decade now and the sky is the limit for where this can go.
