Do you guys have any suggestions on how to explain coins to non-crypto people?
This reminds me of when I first joined this forum I asked a lot of silly questions and it was logical for newbies not to understand the system. However, the best way to explain Bitcoin to non-crypto people is to tell them the purpose of its creation, the advantage it hard and gave them the Bitcoin official website to write it.
It will ease your difficulty when next you see them.
