How ETH is different from traditional money?

It’s really yours

ETH lets you be your own bank. You can control your own funds with your wallet as proof of ownership – no third parties necessary.

No centralized control

You can send your ETH without any intermediary service like a bank. There's no company or bank that can decide to print more ETH, or change the terms of use.

Open to everyone

You only need an internet connection and a wallet to accept ETH. You don't need access to a bank account to accept payments.
