      The counterfactual always punctures my credulity when discussing this. The only part of real estate transactions that need disruption are supply constraints and the loan process...and those are the parts the block chain is silent on.https://twitter.com/mattblaze/status/962754073341628416 …

      My point is that we need to ask “compared with what”. Would you rather buy a house with a smart contract? Or would you just pay closing costs? (Assuming no legal requirements). I’d have to be VERY confident in the smart contract before I’d try to save a few $k with the former.

      Title insurance is a $15b market in the U.S. that’s at least one of the opportunities for blockchaining title.

      block chain title would have to deal sales not initiated by the owner (ie death of owner or lawsuit) which means that someone besides the owner would need the ability to initiate transactions, which means there could be fraudulent ones, which means you'd need title insurance

      What if we assume that the coroner and court system are oraclized and the title contracts are (mostly comprehensive)? Insurance premia should shrink to pennies. (Not saying this is simple)

      Also iirc title insurance covers things like "previous owners made illegal addition"

      The set of people who grok immutability *and* the (legitimate) role of courts in revising contracts (and their outcomes) is frighteningly small.

          Smart contracts shouldn’t aim to replace the legal system - they should *enable* it. Smart contracts are just ERP software for the legal vertical: efficiency & speed

          Yeah title insurance is a good deal, a really low cost (percentage wise) that the other party in the biggest transaction of your life isn't screwing you over
