Fair enough!
> And rate of innovation in cryptocurrency might not be as breakneck as it was in networks.
Any thoughts on why that might be? It seems like there's a whole lot more people looking to carve out businesses in that space than there was in 1981, although I was -2 years old in '81 so I don't know for sure. There is definitively a lot more opportunity for globally-dispersed people to collaborate on things than there was in '81.

I'm really excited to see the "Mosaic" of cryptocurrency, if it ever comes to pass.
> But smart contracts are going to be big, given enough time. Smart-everything requires them to work, and we want smart-everything.
I'm not sure I follow what "smart-everything" means, nor how smart contracts are required for that to happen. It seems like there's a lot of large companies who would be delighted if smart-everything was dependent on long-term subscriptions paid to centralized entities :)
