To be honest it was not that hard for me to understand but i find it pretty hard to explain it to people that have no affinety with these kind of things. I tried to explain some of my older colleagues what cryptocurrency is and how to invest in this but i find my self trying to explain it way to difficult. I think for someone new to crytocurrency a good old evening of google will help allot, but you allready need some technic background or affinity in my opinion.
