Explaining crypto to a person with no or little background in technology is a great challenge considering that crypto is linked with technology.  I experience this when I explained crypto to my mother (she do not even know how to use computer or android phones).  The first step I did, I  explained the concept of money and how people recognize it as a valuable medium of a transaction even the truth is it does not have intrinsic value and it is mere paper with a picture.  Then, I explained the process of banking where people exchange their money for just a mere digital number.  Afterward, I compare a bank to cryptocurrency while I compared trading tokens to forex.  I know she might not understand everything about cryptocurrency but at least she already has an idea about it and I am happy that she supports my engagement in cryptocurrency.
