For most people, this is no different from magic. The mage trainer will tell you that you have no arcane talent and ask you to go back and do something else.
Too many people’s knowledge of Bitcoin is limited to how to trade, how to use exchanges, download wallets, and look at the market and trends. These are all sensitive to price and truly understand the underlying technology and economic model of Bitcoin.
When people ask me what is Bitcoin, I simply tell them that it is a peer to peer payment method, but it is volatile. That’s a simple explanation, and it will make them understand that Bitcoin is simply a payment method and nothing more. Then when they ask me about the volatility, I tell them that they can either lose their money or make more money from it, it goes both ways, but when they decide to go in-depth, they will understand how to put this in their favor.
