“When Satoshi Nakamoto created the Bitcoin protocol he envisioned the system not only as a way of moving money from one owner to another, but also as a broader mechanism to manage agreements and instructions, by creating a space within Bitcoin transfers where users could enter scripts stating conditions for their transactions.
