    Thanks for the overview Simply Explained. I love how easily you were able to simplify the concept for someone who had no idea about smart contracts and their value proposition. Your effort is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much for the videos.
    Please do some videos on Decred, EOS, NEO, GAS, Power Ledger. And please do videos on ICOs that are introducing new Technologies. if we understand the technology at ICO level, it is easy for us to decide on worth of it to invest.

    Hello, great video, easy to understand.
    However, I always wondered how can smart contracts could replace things like Airbnb and Uber in the case of a complaint. In those cases, the third party can be the judge. How those situations are handled in smart contracts ?
    Would love to understand this to fully trust the concept of smart contracts.

    Smart contracts are awesome. Ethereum, NEO and now Cardano - I'm loving the competition and innovation in this field! Smaller companies like PolicyPal Network and Propy are also doing a great job in bringing in smart contracts to increase efficiency and lower cost in their respective industry (insurance & real estate). Can't wait for more innovation in this area :)

    Great video and very well explained too!! One thing that I was a little confused by though is, how doesn't someone make sure that the actual smart contract that someone creates is trustworthy? Would a user need to go in and read the 'terms' (aka code) of the contract to be fully sure what the contract is doing?

    • @hsc587
      @hsc587 2 года назад +8

      Also interested in what mechanisms there are to verify whether the smart contract has been broken or upheld from inputs in real life, like if I fund something on kickstarter ensuring that either you get the product or you get refunded.

      ​@@hsc587 Imagine this future scenario, its 2050, You enter a list of shopping items you need for the next week into Your robot, this information gets stored on a blockchain through a smart contract, so the robot goes through the city during the day visiting various vendors collecting the items and paying for them with your money/crypto. The vendors see the smart contract existing on the decentralized blockchain, so they hand out the merchandise and receive an immediate payment, so the contract gets safely and transparently executed.

    Okay. First of all thanks for this great video.
    However I have a question about smart contract which works like people who judge in business.
    When we are doing a business, things happening are not just simple as the smart contract do.
    For examples, what if the reason for refunding is so ambiguous that just smart contract cannot judge ?
    In that case human must engage right ?
    So my question is even though almost every business change their base technology to blockchain, they cannot cut down expenses right ?

  • @xvaldetaro
    @xvaldetaro 6 лет назад +17

    Great video! It is clear to me how the smart contract is fulfilled in a crowdfunding case as the only requirement is to reach a certain value. However, I can't understand how a smart contract would be fulfilled for the other examples, like insurance, which you mentioned. How is the validation that someone would need to retrieve the stored money on an insurance contract?

    • @simplyexplained
      @simplyexplained  6 лет назад +16

      Yeah that example isn't the best one because people have a certain idea about how insurance companies work. But if you change that view, you can imagine smart contracts being actually useful.
      Let's assume that there is a company offering a natural disaster insurance. And let's also assume that the government publishes data about these natural disasters on a blockchain somewhere. Then you can make a contract that accepts a monthly fee from you and automatically pays out a fixed amount of money if a real natural disaster happened (and the government added it). A bit difficult and not all types of insurances are fit to be handled through a smart contract.
      A better example: insurance for losing your phone. The smart contract could be triggered if you put your phone into "lost mode" or if you file a claim with the police.
      Granted, these applications are not for tomorrow and will take some time. But it's definitely possible!

    • @Johannesdesloper
      @Johannesdesloper 6 лет назад

      How are u going to change that view and what exactly should be the new view? Someone behind his or her computer making choices, without facechecking reallife? How do we know, this person is not forced into making this choice?

    • @Johannesdesloper
      @Johannesdesloper 6 лет назад +1

      I get your point, but i'm still thinking: who decides you made your own decision, there is no central point who can defend you and back you up, it's only people with mining machines and are in the blockchain, who don't know the situation, cannot judge what happened, no witnesses at all, only data. Is that enough to transfer buildings/testimonia/ insurance money? I don't see it happening before me, but maybe i'm not seeing this right? And still again: you only see the data, is that enough? Maybe the data is correct but in real life the things happen the other way around. A machine can't check reality.

    • @michaelmorland
      @michaelmorland 6 лет назад +2

      I think smartcontracts, the way it is explained here is only really good for true/false scenarioes. (yes / no scenarioes). In many of the examples there is more complex matters and shades of gray. I agree with you that these case still require 3rd party / human judgement. I am also of the oppinion that a blockchain of people sitting behind a computer will in no way be able to judge what actually happened in more complex examples. I.e I had a leak in my house, I claim to my insurance etc. Insurance company says I have not done my roof right or maintained it well enough to qualify. We have a disagreement. How will a blockchain judge who is right?? This is where qualified 3rd party surveyors come in, but it still becommes a matter of a human being, and his bias what decision is reached.
