Did you know #bitcoin can make money wait? Bitcoin’s developer docs describe `nLockTime` as the earliest time a transaction can be added to the blockchain, so miners and nodes should not include it until a specified block height or time is reached.

That is programmable money not just by owner, but by time.

The link doesn’t work for me. But yeah, that could be one of the use cases.
