that never ends well, misses the value of the network in the idea of a bitcoin.
If I try to explain TCP/IP stack to my grandmother I will put her to sleep. A simple understanding without all the techno babble is what I gave them. I did explain that I have these specialized computers that solve math problems really fast and that works toward making a bitcoin.
I have had to teach classes on subnetting to people who only wanted to make games, that was fun. Sometimes you just have to go all Barey style.
