Dear fellows,

I am trying to understand Blockstack but I am unable to. I have so many doubts, and concerns, so I read the documentation and saw some videos in you homepage. But I am still unable to understand what it is. Please, give some information like: 101, for Dummies,... without jargon and as if it was intended for a 8 years old child. For example: I don't understand why should I move from one provider (e.g. Yahoo) to another provider (you). If I use your browser it seems like that. I registered in your website a few hours ago and I still don't know where is my private key stored in. Why do I need to use your browser? Why I should not choose another blockchain provider (I read the article about Ethereum, or whatever)? How it is independent, distributed, reliable, if I use the actual Internet infrastructure to support it? What if your infrastructure is under attack (miners, DNS, ...)? Why do you think users want the responsibility to keep their own data? A lot of questions I don't see any answer. Please, enlighten me.

Hey @msc6272 I think this would be better suit the forum at https://forum.blockstack.org. Happy to try my best with answering there :)
