All this research into smart contracts and crytpocurrency may seem pointless and a waste of time. It is very risky to dabble in, and I don't think assigning value to these "bitcoins," or whatever they may be called, will be the lasting effect of all this research. Perhaps some new programming language, or something we haven't even thought of, could be the result of these people working on the outer edges of current knowledge.
