Checked
Already it is
Already is. Now playing catch-up
Seeing this for the first time

This is the first explanation on smart contracts I have seen thats so simple and without any jargon.
good talks, just skip the intro and go directly to 4:15
Thanks
Special place in heaven for you.
Spasiba
I enjoyed listening from the start to know who the person is presenting this powerful presentation.
Thank you
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.
One day when people realized how duped and enslaved they have become they will wish this never happened. Do you really want a central bank interferring in a private contract between you and someone else?
So what should i buy..? eth?
@@user-tz2vb4cn5f eth is a good long term investment. It is a coin of quality in all aspects
@@guiAI how about solana
@@user-tz2vb4cn5f i never heard about it
I am here on this video on 26 April 2021.
See you in 10 years.
Make sure to set it as a calendar reminder ;)
see you here :D pass me a notification then :D
Amen brother
which cryptos u investing in?
@@Jimo225 research all the smart contract platforms, they are all still in early stages and very cheap, even Ethereum is still cheap
This is the kind of talk that people really need to listen
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 !!
Beautiful and the best description of smart contacts, thank you!!!!
Great, and life changing 17 minutes...
From second 01 to the end.
Thanks, Olga Mack for this.
Thanks for explaining smart contracts & blockchain precisely! I love how emerging techs are now alleviating our problems.
She didn't really explain anything.
@@vincenzoc7008 I think you listened to the talk on mute.
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.
Very well explained from lawyers perspective ... Thank You Olga
Beautiful and the best description of smart contracts, thank you!!!
The simplest explanation about blockchain and smart contract which I ever heard in my life so far.
Say the word Cardano. I am now in. Late to the game, but at least at the party.
It's never too late while we're alive. :D
Me too
You're very early my friend, definitely not late
@@darraghshiel8944 I am in for 25k coins
dont say you are late... they havent even launched their smart contracts yet :-)
Outstanding. Very well spoken and explained. Thank you.
Of all the monotonous TED talks on blockchain stuff, this is one of the better ones for sure... 👍🏽
In depth and brilliant examples of how smart contracts resolve alot of issues that were otherwise impossible.
i disagree
That's incredible. Big shout out to this woman, very nice examples of how Blockchain will be revolutionary and change for good people's lives.
"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.
Completely agree, I was thinking the same thing. She talked about different scenarios but never explained how smart contracts would be used to achieve them.
You can reneg on traditional contracts. Smart contracts you cannot.
This whole time I was waiting for a talk on smart contacts lol. I still learned a lot about smart contracts. Thank you Olga.
llmaooo
This is the best explanation I have recieved about the Smart Contracts!
Excellent prsentation with optimism for a future where news media is block-chained!!!!!
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
Brilliant talk! Love her passion for Blockchain!🙏 it’s September 2021 now and the art she speaks of…NFTs… are selling for millions!🙌🔥🔥
Yes!
This was phenomenal - thank you!
Thank you so much Olga, insightful
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)
I was thinking the same thing. Why do these scenarios need smart contracts?
@@Iamnotasuit Beacuse smart contracts don't require a third party. So there will be no trust issues unlike the traditional network, where you have to build a trust for the transaction to complete.
@@dysonfilmstw4764 Exactly, the decentralized nature of chains like Cardano, to use an example would eliminate the need for escrow companies for example in a real estate deal. The chain holds the transaction in a escrow account until the contract is fulfilled, then could deposit the money into the previous property owners wallet.
immutable ID for refugees ...can't think of another way of guaranteeing that ...especially at scale (and offering permanent, near global access to that ID for when they return home, post war/crisis)
urban gardens:
incorporating an immutable, trustless, highly secure and verifiable and individually tailored agreement between renter & owner would be absolutely essential in order to persuade owners to sign up their gardens . as well as to formalise the terms of access and to reassure home owners that leasing out a part of their property (garden) is safe and that they can terminate etc without dispute.
would you let stranger/s access your garden 2 or 3 times a week without a background check and a binding contract to help protect you and your home? probably the cheapest, clearest , fairest tailored contractual agreements on earth.
@@shansen008 How is it verified that the contract is fulfilled? Say there are 2 parties a buyer Alex & a Builder bob, and the Bob's building a home for Alex then Alex send the money in the chain. Now how is the transaction done?
Cardano will allow people to write smart contracts without programming skills. The user-friendly smart-contract network that the world needs.
Even so, programming skills will always be necessary, imagine how you will tackle a problem with the system when maybe it collapses or simply has a bug.
@@usejasiri JamesThomas has a great point though, if u look up "the ocean,the island and the pond" , u will be happy that u have watched that vid ;)
Yes, Blockchain entities like Cardano, Dfinity, Brave Browser are going to make our world a functionally beautiful !
good thing I invested on Cardano early this year 👌
@@rbs4679 Indeed! I'm curious. Did you sell at the top of this last run? Or are you hodling through?
Grateful to be watching this - the world will change
Cardano crypto will make smart contracts very affordable, and make more accessible for everyone around the world with its new Mary Hardford update.
And lead us all into slavery. Digital slavery.
@@tenminutetokyo2643 you're absolutely right. we need all this info on paper
Cardano shillers and hypers unite!😂😂😂
Getting the bigger picture of smart contracts makes it easier to understand and evaluate it.
Enlightening.
Does anyone know the name of the 2nd example (urban farming start up) she is referring to and whether it still exists?
A good intro to smart contracts, though the examples do not make the need for smart contracts over existing technologies clear. Why is the decentralization and anonymity offered by smart contracts necessary in these examples?
What a great talk!
What is the difference between a smart contract and a real contract? Is the benefit just a better way of storing the contract? Does it depend on the network? What if the network crashes and fails? What is the carbon footprint of this? Olga Mack left me with more questions than answers. Which is a good thing.
Amazing!
I've never seen this before and it's beautiful. These are the reasons because I love Blockchain.
6:20 smart contacts begin here.
Haha thanks
that vending machine analogy... stealing that!
great words, Olga!
This vid is more suitable for folks who don't necessarily have a technical background but want to learn about the technology (which is a wonderful thing!). Someone else with a technical background might be better of watching/reading more concrete, technical materials
Can you suggest some? I'm a lawyer who is interested in tech
Nice job Olga. Cheers to you.
Nice speech. Straight from the book
SMART CONTRACTS :
1. They Store Rules.
2. The Verify/Validate Rules.
3. They Self Execute Rules
Explained in a nutshell.
Trying to understand.. thank you!
so few views... we're still early friends
I love you bro
Blockchain is the next Revolution 🔥
Some of her jokes in the intro are actually pretty good.
the intro is good.. people hate humanness nowadays
They are extremely cringe.
A real good primer on smart contracts. Everyone please share this to increase the views.
I wish I heard this earlier
I’m sitting here thinking the same thing😂 we still have time to get in though!!
@@conwayscorner5685 I think so too.
I bought Cardano and I want to forget it for like 5yrs but I can't stop looking at the charts 📊 😂
You're still early
I really regret not watching this sooner
You're still early
Does anyone know the name of the decentralized art network in New York? 15:10m Thanks!
Blockchain and SMART Contracts are going to micro-manage and control our lives beyond anything we can imagine. SMART is an acronym for: Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology. This is about surveillance and control, not liberation. Life will increasingly become a series of conditional privileges you must earn based on criteria created by banks, corporations and governments. Think of enforcable automated terms and conditions on steroids. Of course a lawyer would be in support of this.
Considering we are entering an environmental crisis where our consumption will need to be massively controlled, I actually think what you just said helps the cause of SMART contracts ;)
Buy Chainlink and wait.
For 50% loss
@@alfa77qwx13 LOL!!!!!!!!! EPIC
Keep up the good work son
❤️❤️
Wish I bought chain link 6 months ago.
2022 I’m learning smart contracts on my Mac 😂 I’ll be one of the best!!!
How’s it going 💪
She made it easy to understand.
There will be many smart contract platforms. Pokadot, ADA, ETH etc. Its getting in earlier now and investing in these projects would be the best thing you do for a long term investment for you and your family. Better than a pension.
I would not be so certain. There's a lot of regulation coming down the pipeline affecting these platforms with the FATF global virtual asset proposal. It's still a gamble at this stage.
@@NeilAC78 i dont think gov will stop this train
@@Jimo225 It is very easy to stop this train. Watch what comes out of the recent Uniswap SEC investigation.
@@NeilAC78 what is going to come out of it?
@@Jimo225 The outcome is the SEC is going to find out that Ethereum facilitates more criminal activity than all of history combined. Unlicensed financial products, derivatives, money laundering NFTs, stablecoins and the infinite scams and ponzi schemes being created every day.
I still don't understand how Smart contracts can do all these things better than the conventional technology we have today...Can someone please explain to me exactly why smart contracts can do these things? I was under the impression that this could already be done without smart contracts.
Smart contracts have a very narrow use. Give it 4/5 years and the hype will be over.
No me he enterao' de na'!! Muy atractivo, pero ni me he enterado de qué es un Smart Contract, ni cómo funciona y menos aún cómo llegaría a materializarse en todos esos fantásticos supuestos que nos ha presentado.

Benito Maxwell literally none of these applications use ChainLink nor will they. Crazy how overhyped this project is.
SHHHH
Happy Inc damn this didn’t age well
@@happyinc8231 big yikes. only the small company of google btw
@@happyinc8231 really didn't age well
Great presentation, Olga! Tell us what you are up to today :-)
Great talk and share about really great use cases. But as a developer, I think we can still develop it without using blockchain, which I think I still don’t fully get it. Can someone explain more on how it is better to develop using blockchain technically?
well, idk why she said those examples but blockchain is veeeery god to save data its like the most secure tecnology atm so for transactions,id numbers or to save another important data is very useful.
smart contracts are applications that save,send and receive data on ethereum using blockchain with consensus protocol
How will you decentralize the trust required to make a bc entry? Without bc the only way to do it is via an intermediary, no?
Think of it as functional programming, you trade off functionality for immutability, yet for some it’s a world changing feature!
Amazing talk.
We’re getting closer and closer
Question: what is the benefit of decentralize the organs donator library over a more traditional way(one organization host that on their server)?
You see that's the point. anyone can host but not own data
For instance manipulating data over xrp BC is a thread only if a pool own more than 33% ( so he would be able to write new data over new blocks sign them and send back to others, or alter data resign blocks and commit changes)
Does anyone know the company she is talking about, the one that allow people to lend their garden for farming purpose ? Thanks
We are here
Changing the world by Smart Contracts...Rocks
It's like a library keeping records but the records can't be changed and also provides answer/question like google search.
Actual content in smart contacts starts at 4:15
when you see the job post defi smart contract developer from my local banks. this is done. it's real now. thank you.

Anyone knows what the smart contract-based social network for artists in NY's called?
Incredible talk...
Going mainstream. Creative Artists Agency (Hollywood PowerHouse) is now powering Theta token on its 15th node. Deal in the making for 1.5 years. Finally signed off last month. They represent Beyonce, Tom Cruise, David Beckham, Jennifer Lawrence and the list goes on. Tfuel needed to buy nft's. Tfuel staking 30th June.
Great talk Olga - I just came across!
Imagine a world where providing all forms of business becomes too technical, monopolizing the entire market to big corporations.
I appreciated that. She is so nice.
Is she talking about chainlink???????
The most advanced smartcontract at this moment is cardano
Smart contract talk and no mention of decentralized oracles? Did I miss it?
Here comes Cardano
@@ittanbantan Sean is talking about a different project. A secure middleware if you will. Shhhhh. ;)
She never explained why these things cant be done already......just seems like these things can be done on the internet......"loan out ur garden for urban farming" .....why cant they just pay someone in dollars to do that?
see my replies to other comments, above. cheers
What is the name of the New York social network she refers to?
Good talk. Is that sansa and arya at 15:24?
Possibly 🤷🏻♂️
Inspiring
I would say when it comes to spent the federal dollars census it is not they priority precisely...
I'm just starting
Polkadot is the way to go for smart contracts.
Very interesting...
So interesting smart contracts are the future
great talk. ethereum blockchain is going to change the world
Buy Ethereum and hold...
I find it so baffling that smart contracts and related technologies haven’t received more attention! It might just be a key part of yet another technological leap forward.
Here’s to 2030, when dodgy websites can’t steal your money because a smart contract has bound them to the deal!
I'm new and trying to understand. Question. Can smart contracts eliminate fraud, such as identity fraud, mortgage fraud, etc?
It can’t, but it can make the money stolen by fraudster irreversible.
I always wondered who are the people behind the networm of computers that can verify whether or not something is legit and worth filing in a ledger. Can one of them corrupt enough to influence the rest which is right and wrong?
I still don't understand how this is different than websites and applications we have today. In the urban farming example, I don't get exactly what smart contracts do. Can't you just have a website where you match people who want to farm & people who have backyard space to offer? What exactly does the smart contract assist with?
Absolutely nothing, you are wise to not fall for it.
Thank you ! Don't drink the Smart contract Kool aid - hype will pass .
Dont get me wrong im excited about smart contracts and this is a good intro but example with census, what’s the point of having it on blockchain ?
Improved accuracy, data storage and comparable analytics and higher volume of engagement from “the people”
..and public can view that anonymized data, so we all have the same census data/ info that the politicians have and were given....might make them think twice before telling lies and/ or spending the money needed for new community projects on their rich mates instead.
GREATER ACCOUNTABILITY = better, more functional, more just world
@@noneofyourbizness I do want to hold gov accountable but census data is and should stay confidential imo. It was wrong that gov used it to track down japanese living in the US during WW2 and then muslims and middle easterns after 9/11. Personally i wouldnt answer census and it’s not required as long as you dont give false information which is punishable
