The point of Ethereum is to leverage smart contracts on the blockchain to create a "world computer", ie. a completely decentralized compute layer. Some cool stuff can be done today, but we're not quite at the place where we can build truly generically useful stuff yet.
Ethereum 2.0, which is just starting to launch now and will take another 2 years probably to be actually useful, goes a long way toward making it really powerful as a platform though, imo.
