If you don't know what the big deal about CryptoKitties is let me be the first one to tell you.
They are a game on the Ethereum network that helps users learn smart contracts, MetaMask and the Ethereum network as a whole.
Many people are having trouble purchasing CryptoKitties and there are all sorts of false rumors that they are messing up the Ethereum network but reality is they are a smart contract and that means they are different than just sending Ethereum back and forth to each other. They are also hosted on an auction site found at Cryptokitties.co and it allows users to understand how buying items with Ethereum is different than just pushing buy. There are different functions on the network that will allow buyer B to win the item even though buyer A made the purchase first.
Why does this matter? It does and it doesn't, when buying kitties that fact doesn't really matter but do you want to learn the Ethereum network when it is something really important that has life changing benefits or repercussions or messing around with a novelty game? Smart money would learn to use the network playing a game and not later when it is an important item trying to be purchased.
Here is your chance to learn, this is a single event and the winner will be gifted both of these virgin CryptoKitties from my personal collection.
Entry Rules. Upvote this post, Resteem and tell me what item you hope to see on a network like Ethereum in the future or the type of items you think Smart Contracts are most valuable for.
That's it.
There will only be one winner
Good Luck.
Oh goodness, I wish I was smart enough to have an appropriate & qualifying response to those questions, but I feel as if I'll not have an educated answer until I have one & learn more about the network! Total catch 22.
Maybe I'll get some learning in before the event ends. I have checked it out, but the "cat" that would make me invest is way beyond my means.
Grats to the winner! I'm already stoked for you & thanks for such a generous giveaway. 😻

What do I think will be the future, do you mean other than a token for every cyber club, group, and project? Well, I think there will be a crypto bank. Yes, a centralized bank not run government or power house, but some sort of witness like program. To facilitate exchange between various currencies

Smart Contracts and the Insurance industry will be huge in my opinion.
A claim can typically take weeks to months to complete and the process is done with manual human interaction. The claims process in its current state is a factor in insurance premiums due to the cost associated with filing claims manually. Streamlining and automating the process with smart contracts would reduce insurance costs and the process time for claims. Triggering an automatic execution of the contract based on pre-agreed terms would reduce time and money involved in processing a claim.

@rawdawg What would they have to do in order to make the final process of insurance claims work better on Smart Contracts? Would it lead to higher premiums?

Smart Contracts would lead to lower premiums for the consumer as the cost of processing claims would be reduced. This has been tested on a small scale already, the company AXA is using smart contracts for flight delay insurance.
http://www.businessinsider.com/axa-turns-to-smart-contracts-for-flight-delay-insurance-2017-9
IMHO, if smart contracts are successful in smaller areas of insurance such as "flight delay" we will see wider adoption as firms begin to catch on to smart contract capability.

With the way how things are going right now, I believe that crypto-banks are an inevitable future. With real a time market fluctuation follow up etc.
Keeping in mind that actions related with a cryptocurrency is a very time sensitive thing and people are still experiencing difficulties with transactions from the "ordinary" banks when trying to make a cryptocurrrency purchase and this is unacceptable.

Not all but rather the amount you are willing to use for actions with a cryptocurrency. As they say - it is never safe to have all eggs in one basket ;)

I would like to see all Government contracts and positions on a blockchain type system. Kind of like the witness program where people can be replaced on the fly with a huge list of waiting recipients to take their place. No more 4-5 years of screwing us, over 1 bad vote. But behavior and ability gaged on a daily basis under the watchful eye of concerned citizens.
That might keep things a little more honest, and the good people would stay till retirement.

On a public voting system, there would have to be a way to identify a person through a process of some sort. and of course, no vote would have any more weight than another to work.

The possibilities of smart contracts are endless, and that is what makes the future of this world and its people so bright and glorious. Fiat is passe, as we've come to realize. As for what I'd love to see implemented on ETH and through smart contracts, there are a ton of options from influencing and managing social reputations of entities to having crypto banks, to insurance that could be possibly great to have on the blockchain. But one I'd closely want to see implemented is charities, where transparent donations are recorded on the network and executed through smart contracts, donors can be incentivized to donate more and the generation and distribution of wealth could support innumerable people across the globe.

I change my answer.
After diving into Smart Contracts, I can see a few things pop up that I would like to see.
Crypto games are fun but hey, there is SO much more that can be done with this.
How about checking if the goods being sent to countries that really need them, are they really the goods they are? Or are they medicines that have gone way past the expiration date and will do more harm than good?
I can see Smart Contracts really helping the charity sphere because nowadays the news is coming from one centralized space and with the help of technology, the ever-growing increase of people using the internet, this means that we can actually ask the people on the receiving end of the charity if the goods they got are really up to par.

Yes, there is indeed so much more that can be done with smart contracts but I think the learning curve needs to be learned early. People are having so many issues not knowing how to even just purchase a cryptokitty. It would really suck if they had to try and learn on something as important as you have described.

You could transfer your tokens to a third party that would be responsible to check If both ends of a deal were done. And then transfer the funds between the Trading parties.
