Hey all,

I get asked often what Bitcoin is and I find it really difficult to give a concise answer . I'd love a great one line reply to get people interested and wanting to know more. Looking for something short and direct that still manages to convey enough information.

I'd look favorably towards any creative answers. This includes any sort of illustration/art, post a short description to go with it.

Will announce the winner in 2 weeks from now. No need to leave your address, I'll just message you if you win and announce it on this thread

Good luck and Thanks!
