I really think smart contracts are going to become hugely popular in future especially in combination with the amount of freelancing and subcontracting that is going on lately online. Instead of hiring full time staff you can get a professional on a project basis with all deliverables set in the smart contract and everything is transparent.

deadlines, payments, disputes and other contractual obligations and legalities are in the open and both parties know their responsibilities. Its just going to take a marketplace like this to make easy to set up without having to have much technical knowledge
