I know the new bitcoin about a year ago it was also the result of browsing in the google and search for info from the internet. Now that a lot of my friends who are interested in bitcoin because I've never buy credits and other needs without pay with cash, they ask what it is bitcoin? And how to obtain them?

I explained my best, but maybe they thought it was complicated, so they will not be going into bitcoin.

I want to know how to explain about bitcoin's simple, so ordinary people easily understand and be interested?

a variety of ways can be given to beginners to quickly understand what is bitcoin, such as give him a video tutorial about bitcoin / introduction bitcoin there translate the language afterwards you explain basically how to get bitcoin, its use, and function bitcoin for anything in their daily lives our , surely he will quickly understand there is an important companion

If you do not have time to explain, this can be a good way to make someone understand what Bitcoin is and how it works. I remember a video that was made years ago, I think the name of the video is "what is Bitcoin?", and although it is not a recent video, the information contained is valid and in keeping with reality at the moment.

The success of an explanation depends on the arguments you provide when questions are asked afterwards.

Easy
Person to Person: Send Bitcoin from your computer, tablet, smart phone or other device, to anyone, anywhere in the world, day and night.

Secure
Strong cryptography: Bitcoin verifies transactions with the same state-of-the-art encryption that is used in banking, military and government applications.

Open
Fully decentralized: Bitcoin is open-source. Nobody owns it; the most popular client is maintained by a community of open-source developers.

Fair
Minimal Fees: Using the Bitcoin network is free, except for a voluntary fee you can use to speed up transaction processing.

an explanation that is easy to understand, then will I try to apply this idea of you, because in the neighborhood I live now again many are interested to join the world bitcoin.

Its so simple just tell them that bitcoin will gonna replace dollars soon so they must start using and understand bitcoin now before it happens.otherwise they are ones who are late to use bitcoins and profit into it.

I don't think that a digital currency would replace fiat money since fiat money is the basic element for doing transaction wether it is online or peer to peer. Imagin if there is now fiat money, how can you deposit or withdraw? Bitcoin's purpose is only to be used on online transaction, investment, and trading not to replace fiat money

No, that's going to be too much... For me, if I am a newbie you would sound like scaring me or you are trying to convince me into another ponzi in the internet... I wouldn't do that if I have to convince a newbie... Better tell them that the benefits of using bitcoin in the internet and that sometimes there are methods to earn it...

It's good to just set an example than teaching them about bitcoin...

Bitcoin can be defined with the word virtual currency and its also known as cryptocurrency. An user can be paid in bitcoin and s/he can use this to buy products or can cashout in any individual currency. Now a days bitcoin became very popular in online sector. It was first introduced back in the year 2008.

There are plenty of good wiki's. I suggest you first introduce these to them and give them time to learn, after they get a basic understanding of the bitcoin community then you can start explaining the parts about exchanging and the more complex parts.

It is true that it takes time to slowly so they can understand the basis of the public bitcoin, unlike the case with the gain understanding instantly they will usually get bored quickly, it could just be forgotten bitcoin, unlike the case with providing an understanding that they felt happy but understandable so they will inspired and innovate by itself

The best way to explain this to a beginner is to let them observe first what you are doing after they get curious by what you are doing then little by little you explain this to them that they can earn bitcoin through using, holding and trading with it and that they can join also forum where they can learn a lot of strategy on how to earn.

I suggest newbies to view the videos about bitcoins in Youtube. Specially I suggest to everyone to watch Raise and raise of bitcoins. This is the best video according to my knowledge about btc. Then newbies read the multiple thread in the forum and read btc news in coindesk.

As suggested by above mate several videos explaining bitcoin and its usage were been created and uploaded to YouTube. Its the only easy way a beginner can learn about bitcoin. Several other sources are found online and separate websites are there to teach about bitcoin as well the supporting technology.

I think much better to explain it actually but it give s them a video it can help to know what is bitcoin..
But it still the best to show them how it works so that they know how to use it..
Also what the benefits of bitcoin that they can get if they are collecting bitcoin or investing.

Obviously bro. I agree that only videos will not help to learn the bitcoins completely. Still many high members does not completely know about the commercial use of bitcoins. If they know experienced mate with them in next room or friend in bitcoin can only help them.

Letting a user experience crypto currency first hand is the best way in my opinion.

exactly. give them just about $500 worth of btc and they see how to get that $50 so spend it. money, even just few can make wonders that even just an old man doesn't knew any online technology would dare to try to learn bitcoin technology. he could probably learn it well like an economist.

that is a brave thing to do Tongue

leave someone with $500 worth of btc and let them experience the crtpto world hands on

am certain they will understand it very fast and supplement of youtube videos would be good to understand different bitcoin terms used...

If you aren't familiar with him, 99Bitcoin is a YouTuber who's content is specifically about bitcoin. He has loads of videos explaining certain aspects of bitcoin. But here are a few that don't go too in depth and are pretty

general. Some are specifically about faucets, mining, trading, faucets, etc. But these are just about explaining bitcoin as a whole.
