## Turing "complete enough"?

Thank you [@tsachi](https://forum.algorand.co/u/tsachi). Maybe I’m stating the obvious, but the fact that 99% of use cases and applications can be achieved in Layer 1 smart contracts (with no gas equivalent) is a massive advantage for Algorand over all other programmable blockchains. The cost to Ethereum of being Turing complete - and …

A Turing complete protocol can perform any computation or data manipulation. Ethereum is Turing complete, Algorand is not. Does this matter? Is it a strike against Algorand, or is Algorand Turing “complete enough” to perform all envisioned DeFi use cases - stablecoins, CBDCs, tokenizations, etc? Is …
