Here is the TLDR for you
The problem: every digital payment needs a middleman. The middleman can block you, reverse you, or debase you.
The solution: a public ledger everyone holds a copy of, so no single party controls the record.
The catch: who gets to write the next page? If writing is cheap, cheaters can spam fake history.
