I'm trying to understand what an ETH account address is. I know Ethereum is a cryptocurrency, but I'm not sure how its account address system works. Can someone explain what an ETH account address represents and how it's used? What is the ETH account address?

A prefix of '0x' is added at the beginning of the address to denote its hexadecimal nature.
