As a Realtor and a Mom I can think of so many ways the blockchain and smart contracts are world changing. In Real Estate, transfer of property or rental income is a smart contract either managed peer to peer or via platforms to hypothecate tokenized assets over a period of time (bye-bye banks). I suppose Title companies become smart contract facilitators disbursing payments and verifying chain of title, or maybe I’ll build a Dap for that. Home Inspectors may also be learning new skills as smart homes will probably truthfully deliver details about the property although how that information will be stored and audited is beyond me. Appraisers may also step aside as market data is already readily available. Ahem…Realtors…are we outta jobs or just in career transition, mapquest works well??? Welcome to truth in transactions, hopefully the elimination of frivolous lawsuits, mortgage fraud, and exhorbitant fees.
As a Mom, I love the idea of smart contracts for chore, grade, goal performance for kids; no more caving in to the “but Mom” excuses or reneging for other ancillary issues. Just need to add conditional contract scripting to enable the Roomba or call the Tutor when portions of the contract are not being met on a timely basis. I’d like to think more grandly about what the world needs and how the forces of good and evil will battle but I am always brought back to my reality and how scrambled and loud it is. Can someone invent a gaming helmet that creates a barrier of silence around it…please?
