If I were to make people understand bitcoin I will not tell much about it for a reason that the complexity of the bitcoin might push people away in being interested in trying it and be at it. I will just tell them the basic knowledge in a simpliest yet clearly way so that they would know it immediately. I learned bitcoin by my close friends so I am really grateful to them.
I know the beginning of the bitcoin also from explanations of a friend. but he's like you just give basic knowledge only. After that I find more information about bitcoin on the internet. after knowing the value and some of the information I'm interested in, and began buying bitcoin bitcoin, but after knowing my altcoin more interested in altcoin now.
If anyone has beertanya about bitcoin to me just maybe I will do the same as described by agan do. give a fundamental explanation, and I think it is precisely thus raises the curiosity towards the bitcoin.
