Bitcoin is like cash - you don't need to go through a bank or credit card network in order to transfer it to another person.
It's better than cash because you can do this over the internet.
It's way better than all other monetary instruments because it is programmable money: you can basically treat bitcoins as symbols to represent anything (like titles to property, for example), and have the distributed peer-to-peer blockchain mechanism enforce title transfers in a provable, reliable way without any notaries.
