has anyone ever been able to come up with a <200 words explanation of what bitcoin is, in simple english, without words like "blockchain" and "hash", that would make even your grandma understand what bitcoin is?
there should be a prize for that, should anyone achieve it.
Bitcoin is to banking what the internet was to information exchange. Easier, faster and more convenient than traditional banking. Independent, giving freedom back to the people, and not in the hands of a few powerful institutions. No need to trust a central system, but it's backed by mathematics that is secure.
