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

Easiest and most reliable solution? Give them 1$ worth of bitcoins. They will download wallet, you will send them 1$ and they will send it somewhere.
Learn by practice. Instantly 30-50% all questions answered in minutes.

Very easily implemented if you and the person you're trying to teach both have smartphones as well!

I agree with your suggestion that bitcoin is simple, easy and safe in pengunaanya as well denagn explained to beginners directly to the core of the discussion beginners will understand

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.

There are many way to explain what it's bitcoin to a beginner
But 1st we have to explain The actual meaning of Bitcoin. Then step by step We told them.everything about Bitcoin

same as me but we know that there are many ways to take advantage of bitcoin.
whether you are trading or mining ?

they have a distinct uniqueness, about trading you can make a profit only by a matter of hours with low cost fee
but mining you need to calculate the cost of electricity and maintenance of the device you have

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?

For me the best way is to show them a video about bitcoin and choose the best video that really describes and explains about bitcoin precisely because on this method they could easily understand compared on explaining it to them by yourself.Video would really help a lot regarding on this matter and its good to hear that your friends decide to engage on bitcoin because they saw regarding its uses.

good advice man. using videos as a means of letting other person understand what bitcoin is might be so far the easiest way. there are lot of videos in youtube where you can find some short but comprehensive and easy to underdtand videos to who evers gonna watch it. there are some animated so its not boring, there are also documentary videos or news perhaps. try to let him or her see a certain video first then if he or she's intetested, then explain more. or try to simplify by explaining that bitcpin is somewhat money you can earn in the internet.

99Bitcoin does a great job explaining this in his videos. Also you can find many "Bitcoin in a Nutshell"-type videos or articles online. Sometimes, I have trouble explaining it myself. Hopefully these will help you out,

or you can just send these to the people who ask you.

Just simply say that bitcoin is a currency online that we can use alternatively.. unlike cardless or virtual payment online..
I think he can understand it and then the difference that bitcoin can be increase the value so if you are holding alrge number of bitcoin can be rich fast in the future mean you the price can be double or triple in the future.

agree with you, because bitcoin it simple, easy and safe for its users that the first thing that should be explained, bitcopin it different from other virtual money though same function but there are many differences.
love of reference video on youtube he'll quickly understand what is bitcoin, then we give the practice the use of bitcoin

Explaining bitcoin to a beginner is like you are teaching a kid without using anything bitcoin is from internet which is they can't adopt it when they not familiar with this currency and if they don't know how to use a computer properly. You're just making things complicated and making your self fool try to make people believe on what you saying.

You know who need money they will try to know aromatically about the bitcoin,

Well, probably true... Those who needs money will easily join any program that could make them money easy and if possible instant...

Quote from: BitcoinPC on January 17, 2017, 04:19:30 AM

but if your friends thought that it is complicated than you can't do for them, because they have no interest about it.

Of course, they won't learn it if they are thinking that it's too complicated to them, that is why instead of teaching them, it's good for them to experience using bitcoin and just let them ask you if they are having difficulty in using it...

Quote from: BitcoinPC on January 17, 2017, 04:19:30 AM

Now you see we are come here not for someone, and no one guide us, but we come only for ourself, because we want to earn money and main thing is that bitcoin is not difficult to understand about it.

Usually, we learn it because we read and research about it... Spoon feeding won't make someone learn about bitcoin... The process of earning it always differ from each other that is why we need more experience than just being told about it...

Some of us here are not here because we want to earn money(Just look at those veterans, they are here to share their knowledge and to talk about technical things about bitcoin...

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

And that's the only effective way to teach them, just like how we learn to drive a car, we do it our selves with just a guide from a pro. Telling them so many things about bitcoin would just make them confused about bitcoin.

I do believe that teaching them how to send bitcoin to another address would amaze them and probably would make them start using bitcoin too.

Tell them from simple words but give them know some benefits by using bitcoin than using another currency. It can be a reason they interest with bitcoin.
I can catch your point, teach someone with only theory continuously will make confused, Better practice while teaching everything about bitcoin

I remember the time when I explain bitcoin to my wife. I told her bitcoin is like Paypal but the difference is bitcoin is not centralized.

Then she asked me, if not centralized who holds the entire system? So I told her the bitcoin miners act as the server of the bitcoin sytem. In return a small fee was given to miners from bitcoin sending transactions.

I also told her bitcoin is like torrent where everyone are file server.

different from mine, once a day I was talking with a friend about bitcoin, he laughed thought I cheat, I tell more slowly what is bitcoin functions, benefits, and how to get it slowly while I lihatin video then my new practice, that is where he had the notion of bitcoin and now he was able to start his own
