I'm looking for the easiest way to make old people understand Bitcoin more thoroughly. I want to let the elderly know about the "Bitcoin revolution", yet I find it quite challenging to explain it to them in a way they can understand how it all works. There are some wallets that have a "user-friendly" interface, but even the basics of sending/receiving Bitcoin can have a steep learning curve for the older people. A Bitcoin wallet with built-in accessibility features, could help even elder people with vision or hearing problems to use the pioneer cryptocurrency in their daily lives.

If you happen to know of a way to make old people understand Bitcoin easily, please let me know. Any suggestions or recommendations will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Smiley

Hello!

How would I explain BITCOIN and possibly maybe the CRYPTOCURRENCY in general to old people?

Well, I think what we need to FOCUS first are the problems of our society which BITCOIN was purposely supposedly created. This will be our main guide for them to slowly understand what BITCOIN is. You can't say, you can become millionaire with bitcoin, make more money than before or etc. Since they are old people you should consider their learning capacity too about new things which as I mentioned to give the problems we face now that BITCOIN has a solution, like the middleman/ 3rd party system including financial institutions, etc that makes a financial transaction more costly in the part of recipient or receiver. With BITCOIN, you can transfer money peer-to-peer anyone around the globe with a very low cost and minimum transfer time. Focus there first and slowly open up the world of cryptocurrency.

My best and simplest way to explain BITCOIN to other crytocurrency specific to ETHEREUM is this; BITCOIN is like a calculator while ETHEREUM is a MOBILE PHONE (which has a feature of calculator and a LOT of other functions).
