In this episode of Business & Breakfast, I break down one of the most powerful — technologies shaping the next decade: *smart contracts*.
This is not about crypto hype. This is about the infrastructure that removes trust from transactions — and what that means for founders, investors, and operators in Dubai, the UAE, and across the MENA region.
📌 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:
✅ What a smart contract actually is (simple IF–THEN logic anyone can understand)
✅ Where the concept comes from — and why it took 20 years to become real
✅ Why Ethereum changed everything (and built the “factory”)
✅ How smart contracts work in real life: real estate, insurance, supply chain
✅ The 5 industries being disrupted right now — not in theory, in practice
✅ Why Dubai and the UAE are ahead of the world on smart contract adoption
✅ The real risks: bugs, oracles, legal gaps, and user error
✅ The ONE question every founder and investor must ask
✅ Why we are still early — “1994 of smart contracts”
✅ 3 clear actions to position yourself in the next 3–5 years
