The fantasy is that with smart contacts you'll be the libertarian captain of industry outsmarting all the rest and getting the best of every deal and no one can refuse to hold up their end of the bargain because the code is law.

The reality is you log in to your banking app and 5 dozen pop-ups appear and if you click the wrong one your savings account, rare art collections, and the deed to your house vanish
