Who originally coined the term “smart contract”?
Here’s a detail: the Ethereum unit szabo is equal to one-millionth of an ETH, and it was named after Nick Szabo.
Nick Szabo often used vending machines to illustrate smart contracts: insert a coin, select an item, and the machine dispenses it according to predefined rules, without needing an attendant.
Understanding this matters more than memorizing a bunch of jargon. Don’t trade with borrowed money; the pressure can push you into making bad decisions.
Ethereum, where $ETH resides, enabled the concept of smart contracts to be put into practice on a large scale.
