Bitcoin is a digital currency that cannot be made worth less due to the issuing of new bitcoins by a central bank.
and even:Quote
Bitcoin is a peer to peer digital currency that you can send from your computer Android phone to someone else's without using a middleman for free.

It's global money that you can give to anyone through the internet.
It's Paypal without Paypal.

I would make that
Governed by math,
Controlled by you,
Spent in freedom
or spent with privacy?
but that's of lesser concern to people
and less true because of transaction tracking
the one i've heard that i like the best is:
it's like PayPal, but it's free.

It is not like paypal, as it not a payment processor. It's digital currency, and payment processors will surely be built upon it.
It is not free, as the network must carry the costs of the collectively maintained transaction database and security. Currently this is done largely through monetary inflation (mining), and in the future will be done through transaction fees.

I think what I posted in my thread works rather well and is even informative:
Bitcoin is the perfect form of digitized cash. It is anonymous, easy to use, secure, fast, and can be accepted anywhere at any time.

I like it. I agree with everything in the above statement, but, it's those damn technical details...
- It can be anonymous, but only if you know what you're doing.
- It is secure and easy to use, but not easy to use securely.
- It's a fast compared to international wire transfers, but too slow for day-to-day use. (e.g., 10-60 minutes is too long to wait for a burger).
- It can't be accepted where there is no internet connection, or where people have no clue.
All of these things can and will be fixed; I just feel that it is important to be careful at this early stage, when talking about ways to "let the world know" about bitcoin, not to make it sound better than it is (yet). It could be quite bad for public confidence if there was for example a wave of adoption followed by a wave of wallet theft due to ignorance...
How about:
"Bitcoin. You're not ready."
"Bitcoin is a doorway; your mind is the only key."
"It is like a finger pointing at a coin..."
"Bitcoin is awesome but you totally wouldn't get it."

I find that a lot of people don't understand anything about money or where it really comes from. Trying to tell them about decentralization and middlemen is a waste of time! It has to be about the convenience, ease of use, and security!!![/b]
I'm not sure if I agree with this or not
Certainly, if one uses terms such as "decentralization" and "inflation" and "market cap" etc, most people's eyes will glaze. If it's presented in a different way, however, maybe it can very much hit home with your average joe. The section of this song I've quoted below is one example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bqxnm6t3QMwQuote
I pay my mutha uckin' rent fortnightly
Mutha uckas at the bank trying to play me
And I'm out for my account
'Cause out on A.P
On AP
Yeah, you know me
Mutha ucka charge a two buck transaction fee
Makes my payment short
My rent comes back to me
Minus a twenty-five dollar penalty
So you'll see me 'cause of your mutha uckin' fee
Read the words
On my ATM slip, it said
We're all mutha uckas
And we're uckin' with your shi-
Too many mutha uckas

There's too many mutha uckas

One further thing though, directed at this topic of conversation in general rather than your post: After reading the threads about TV ads etc, I agree with the comments in there which are along the lines of, 'Bitcoin isn't ready for advertising yet -- until there are serious improvements to security (for stupid), and UI usability (for stupid), there will be chaos if everyone jumps on board right now. Stolen wallets and all sorts of scamming, resulting in a loss of public confidence.' I don't want to be a buzzkill, I believe this situation will most certainly change, but we're not there yet...
