I'm too dumb to understand smart contracts. My general approach to any kind of like deal or whatever is just make sure there's clarity of understanding.

I think Mars itself will need to have a different currency ... I don't know if Mars would have a cryptocurrency as a thing, but probably it seems likely, but it would be kind of a localized thing on Mars.
