For someone who's not at all in touch or in synch with all this, why should I install it? What is the value proposition? Just to send money to other people in an ideologically pure way?

Ha. Never seen that put that way before, but sure.

But aside from just the currency aspect of it, blockchain protocols that support distributed apps (dapps) or smart contracts also allow for programs to be run on the blockchain; a sort of distributed computing network. This app, aside from wallet/currency functions, appears to also allow you to interact with these distributed apps and see their state.
