Ethereum is basically one big cloud computer, with a shared runtime.

Everyone gets a copy of the code AND all the data/state, and can execute all instructions.

Problem is that it’s too slow/expensive to do anything useful.

But perhaps the killer app for blockchain is buried somewhere in this concept.



Just because you dont understand how to do something useful using ethereum doesnt mean that no one knows how to do something useful with ethereum.

Please investigate ethereum name system(ENS) and Handshake name system.
