I don't understand this.

I don't understand any of it.

I don't understand cryptocurrencies.

I don't understand what problems they really solve.

> "Ethereum is open access to digital money and data-friendly services for everyone – no matter your background or location. It's a community-built technology behind the cryptocurrency ether (ETH) and thousands of applications you can use today."

I can do all these things already.

> Ethereum is a technology that lets you send cryptocurrency to anyone for a small fee. It also powers applications that everyone can use and no one can take down.

I don't have this need ever, to be frank. Who really does, looking at the larger population?

> It's the world's programmable blockchain.

I don't understand what this means. What does this do for real-life applications?

What problem / which problems are being solved here?
