Ethereum White Paper question
So I'm currently reading the Ethereum white paper and one part I'm not sure I understand so well is where it talks about the scripting limitations that bitcoin has which Ethereum says they solved.
- Lack of Turing-completeness
- Value Blindness
- Lack of State
- Blockchain-blindness
The first limitation makes sense to me and I see why it can be powerful to use loops in applications such as smart contracts. However, when it starts talking about UTXO's it kind of loses me because I don't seem to understand why UTXO's limitations are such a fundamental problem that Ethereum felt they needed to focus on it. So could anyone please help me understand why moving away from the UTXO/ Bitcoin scripting is so crucial? Thank you
