Introduction
A smart contract is a self executing contract where terms of the contract are implemented in code. A common misconception is that Bitcoin is incapable of executing smart contracts, paving the way for the creation of other blockchains like Ethereum.
Bitcoin Script as originally implement is capable of simple yet powerful smart contracts that can be written, deployed and deferred to the miners on the network for execution.
