I agree that the fewer the necessary parties the better - however, some =
entities are much better positioned to offer certain services on the =
network than others - and the fact we can trustlessly negotiate smart =
contracts with them is one of the most significant developments in the =
cryptospace - it=E2=80=99s one of the most revolutionary aspects of this =
technology=E2=80=A6it accomplishes something we=E2=80=99ve never really =
been able to do before.

Notice that third parties can encapsulate complex tasks and provide a =
far simpler interface. Crypto contracts provide the incentives for them =
to do this. And by having competition and transparency, these services =
automatically get optimized via human ingenuity. We don=E2=80=99t need =
to design top-down for it.
