In this thought provoking presentation, Jack talks about the future of Bitcoin Cash; describing the more complex and smarter things now possible with BCH, utilizing CashTokens and other powerful script tools.
He describes multiple potential paths forward (EVM vs. Bitcoin model), and different ways to balance “backing” and “trust”.
Jack ends by saying we are in a new era in BCH and we can do weird things and blaze new paths.

Emergent Reasons (The General, John Nieri) talks about programming smart contracts safely.
He believes that people that are making apps or smart contracts need to prioritize safety when dealing with other people's money. The goal is contracts that CAN’T fail. John says that he is not telling others the RIGHT way to do things, just a good way to do things. He hopes others will do better.
