I love the looks i get when i try to explain crypto to a non tech person! How do you guys deal with situations like these?

The average person will have a hard time processing cryptocurrency, unless they possess a basic understanding of investing and the stock marketing. It's not an easy craft to pick up on, but it's a priceless skill to have if you can. I'm not really good with creating analogies on the spot, but in order to explain crypto ro a person, so that there is a general understanding of its utility, you have to break it down to them, doing so in a manner or level they can relate to and understand.
Metaphor is the best way teach because it uses mental visualization of symbols.

True, bitcoin is extremely easy to use but it is something very complex to explain, the person trying to learn more about bitcoin needs to know about new technology, cryptography, economics, the history of money, politics and probably some other topics that I'm forgetting, if the person that you're trying to explain does not know at least something about those topics they are not going to understand your explanation.
