Like other cryptocurrencies, Ethereum operates on a decentralized computer network, or distributed ledger called a blockchain
While the whole field is referred to in terms of currency, it may be more useful to think of crypto as a token that can be spent for a specific purpose enabled by the Ethereum platform.
For example, sending money or buying and selling goods are functions enabled by the coin. But Ethereum can do a lot more, and it can also form the basis for smart contracts
Ethereum can power a number of applications offering a wide range of functions:
With a cryptocurrency wallet, you can send and receive ether or pay for goods and services, if the digital currency is accepted as payment
Smart contracts are a kind of permission-less app that automatically executes when the contract’s conditions have been met
Ethereum powers digital apps that allow users to play games, invest, send money, track an investment portfolio, follow social media and more
These tokens can be powered by Ethereum and can allow artists or others to sell art or other items directly to sellers using smart contracts
By using Ethereum, some people may be able to avoid centralized (government) control over the movement of money or other assets
Think of Ethereum as a token that powers various apps rather than as merely a cryptocurrency that allows users to send money to each other.
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.
