This is an honest question as I _really_ don't know the answer, but aren't bitcoin contracts technically white-listed? The opcodes exist, yes, but you can't just create a random contract and have it work?

That hasn't been correct since Feb 2015: https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.10.0#standard-script-rules...

(The 'almost completely' there refers to operations that do literally nothing and are reserved for future extensions).

Thanks for reference, I didn't realize this was opened up like that.

You can and it would. You have opcodes, you order them in any way you want with the arguments. It is just not Turing complete on purpose.
