Hey guys!
I have noticed that whenever people in real life find out that I use bitcoin, they ask me to explain it to them. For example, some family friends that are my age came over to my house around 2 weeks ago, when they arrived, I was looking at crypto graphs because I had a little bit of money saved up to invest. Bitcoin was on one of the charts, so when they walked into my room, they asked about it, "You do bitcoin? How does it even work?." So I started explaining it to them, but what they didnt get was that it is decentralized. When I was explaining it they asked "Why doesnt bitcoin's creator give himself a billion bitcoin?" I told them that it is impossible for the creator to do so since he doesnt have control over the network, but after I said that, they told me that I was wrong and that since He made it, he can control it, which is incorrect. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to explain coins to non-crypto people?
If you cannot explain a concept in a simple fashion, then you yourself do not entirely unterstand it. Anything can be explained simply. As far as Bitcoin goes, there are quite number or educational and entertaining short videos on youtube that explain how Bitcoin works and why the technology behind it (Blockchain) results in Bitcoin being the better money.
The point of explaining to someone who doesn't understand Bitcoin yet is to get them interested. After that they will do the learning by themselves...
