BTC <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://cryptocomes.com/the-first-real-smart-contract-in-the-world-for-bitcoin-holders">smart contracts</a>

The Lightning Network ensures the scalability to the Bitcoin platform, but smart contracts give this virtual currency some new functionality. For example, users would be able to make some kind of bets on the basis of the global news. Or people would be able to use futures contracts. E.g., they will pay their debts in BTC in US dollars depending on the exchange rate on the payday.

Still, the main advantage of the new upgrade is that the scalability issue of Bitcoin will be solved as in that case a lot of data will be kept outside the BTC Blockchain.

Later at some point, the developers plan to sell this technology to some big companies, which will be able to adapt it to the needs of common users in a much better way.
