> I am genuinely interested what are those problems that decentralized apps and cryptocurrency solve?

Censorship resistant, electronic, financial transactions.

You can make an electronic payment to anyone, and nobody is going to stop you. No transactions are currently being censored on most of the big crypto platforms, so we have provable evidence that it works for this usecase right now.

Thank you. So, electronic financial transactions is a problem already solved by other means (and much better at that). Censorship - I totally recognize my first world privilege - what are the contexts in which this is relevant? Even if payment censorship problem is somehow solved, the delivery of goods and services can still be blocked, be it by customs or firewalls.
