Ok, well I don't really know about the full range of possibilities it enables.  My comment about Ethereum is mainly that  the vibe I got with Ethereum was that they got really excited about these technical ideas, but in the end there just isn't a real demand for that.  Like I remember Vitalik's comments about tokenizing game assets and making them transferrable between games.  Are we really seeing that?  Did anyone want that?  I am wondering the same thing for covenants.
