[thomasdixon]

This is gonna be one of those Ted talks that people are gonna regret not hearing about sooner

[mufimf]

good talks, just skip the intro and go directly to 4:15

[mumo]

This is the first explanation on smart contracts I have seen thats so simple and without any jargon.

[kingmonras]

I am here on this video on 26 April 2021.
See you in 10 years.

One day when people start realizing the value in this, and when the paradigm changes and people will have to adapt to this new way of transactions, then this will get a lot more views.

[s.k.]

Say the word Cardano. I am now in. Late to the game, but at least at the party.

[clijeron]

It's so great to hear the many applications of Smart Contracts. This makes it a lot easier to understand this complex term. Thank you Olga !!

[heycarmiv]

Thanks for explaining smart contracts & blockchain precisely! I love how emerging techs are now alleviating our problems.

[cdjwmusic]

This is the kind of talk that people really need to listen

[progidy]

"Smart contracts are amazing! They can take a census! Or you can rent your backyard to an urban farmer! Do a kidney swap! Pay artists!"
She never explained *how*, or why it's better than the existing way of signing a contract. There's already ways of trusting other parties by making copies.

[jamesthomas]

Cardano will allow people to write smart contracts without programming skills. The user-friendly smart-contract network that the world needs.

I'M NEW TO CRYPTO TRADING WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO GET STARTED WITH TRADE COS I'VE BEEN MAKING MY PERSONAL RESEARCH FOR A WHILE NOW I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TRADE ON CRYPTOCURRENCY ?

[softwareprofessional]

SMART CONTRACTS :
1. They Store Rules.
2. The Verify/Validate Rules.
3. They Self Execute Rules

[abmount]

Great, and life changing 17 minutes...
From second 01 to the end.
Thanks, Olga Mack for this.

As a developer, I don't think she sufficiently justified the need for blockchain/smart contracts in those examples. Based on her descriptions, they could easily be implemented without blockchain (with perhaps even less overhead)

[jotstar]

Brilliant talk! Love her passion for Blockchain!🙏 it’s September 2021 now and the art she speaks of…NFTs… are selling for millions!🙌🔥🔥

[oscarmora]

Cardano crypto will make smart contracts very affordable, and make more accessible for everyone around the world with its new Mary Hardford update.

[lauriereid]

Profitable traders can't start all by themselves they start with experts first then while making profits learn how to be profitable

Olga delivered an awesome talk. I sometimes still question myself is smart contracts/blockchain the only way to solve this problem ?

Are we solving a problem in a blockchain way rather than solving it in a much simpler way. Census, renting urban land in developed countries, matching kidneys etc are typically doesn’t sound like blockchain based problems for me. For me blockchain based problem basically should root from lack of trust on the service provider. One example is real estate in developing countries like India.

In india, real estate registrations are done by the govt organisation. There are a ton of instances where people working in that organisations manipulate land records and register them to unwanted people in exchange of a bribe. Typically there is no transparency log available to verify the authenticity of chain of transactions and no way to validate double registrations.

Insurance is another sector I believe the people are at mercy of the insurance (service) provider to get the claim processed rather than defined agreement.

Probably solving these kind of problems are more impactful

Great video. Really enjoyed listening to Olga. Really put it all across really well, for the average person, to get their head around this very important topic.
