You dont need to explain to him so hard, there are many guides here in forum and google, also there are bitcoin explanation in youtube for him to watch. Just make it basic first like bitcoin is a digital currency that can use to send or receive online.

You can tell them directly that this is a new type of digital currency, the first cryptocurrency in the blockchain, and has a great investment value.

For me, being a tech-savvy is not really an edge here in bitcoin. As long as you got interest on it or on what you are doing, you can freely do bitcoin. But then, if you are really after want to do bitcoin even if they do not like, then influence them. Show them how bitcoin helped you.

The only best options is to encourage them to watch crypto videos and about bitcoin. Research also may help to explain what is bitcoin.

I will explain him that bitcoin is like digital gold but with many advantages than gold. Compare to gold, bitcoin more easy to safe and we can carry any where. And as investment, bitcoin can give good return

God knows I have tried to teach my older brother about it but being not tech-savvy he just disregards it. I'm having the same problem. He doesn't even own a smartphone, just a regular one for calls and texts. I guess to start, the other person should have interest to learn.

We need to explain it simple, word by word until he/she will get it

I think it's hard to explain Crypto on the people who is not techy it takes time to explain to them that there's a good thing by using your computers, My family too are not open minded in this kind of investment and they locked in the thinking that being just a office workers are the best thing to do to become successful in life but they didn't see that if you're just have a fixed salary how will you become successful in life?

Trying to explain the bible to somebody who isn't tech savvy is like trying to explain logic to a christian, it does not compute.

If I were you, I would avoid trying to explain it to them. Typically people who aren't tech savvy as those who are not open to new ideas, I mean they have missed the technological revolution because of their own ignorance, why would they have any interest in learning about Bitcoin?

Refer them in no investment and if there any problems like they can't read or write or use computer then teach them first after that back here in crypto to earn money all we need is be knowledgeable about crypto to earn so better to study it than to think negative about what we can't do and always move in your comfort zone then if you don't have knowledge or don't want to study it just leave or find other way

I will explain by direct practice method.
Because if we just talk without showing or without us practicing I think they will just be confused and not understand at all or no picture at all.
while explaining we show how things work and how to do things.
we can also show some videos about bitcoin so they have an idea of bitcoin and train whether they can be taught or not, if we teach bitcoin to people who do not understand the technology we must explain in detail and extra patience.

Videos are really helpful. One can demonstrate the returns being given by bitcoins in the form of charts so as to give them a correct idea about bitcoins. I first started with text only but when I started investing in bitcoins, I had to takr help of videos as well. This was required as I was not able to understand certain features of the exchange I was using for trading bitcoins. I just watched some video tutorials related to those features and was able to understand everything in very less time.

So the bitcoin system works just as well. Only the task of this program is not to transfer files between users, but to give them "virtual glasses"

Its easy ask them to explain money to you
if they fail:-
you already won
if they succeed:-
they end up saying it is controlled by government and backed by gold.

Then ask what is gold why is it that valuable
if they fail:-
you already won
if they succeed:-
they end up saying it is precious metal can not be created or destroyed on earth.

Explain that is what bitcoin is -A Digital Gold- cannot be created or Destroyed

You can tell them about virtual currency and virtual wallet. Take example of gmail or cloud computing. Also this forum can be helpful for teaching someone about bitcoin.Refer some videos and articles also.

There are a sh*t ton of videos on YouTube regarding how Bitcoin works but I prefer just to show my friends how it works via screen sharing or something like that.

Start with the basics. Make your explanation more simple. Send them link from youtube and tell them to watch so that they will have idea what is bitcoin. Take time to read. Thats what im doing coz im a newbie also.

For me the best way is to search for videos that orient about bitcoin after that teach him to register here and let him read so that he will have knowledge. If you know bitcoin so well you could explain it to him/her also.
