"It's a decentralized digital currency where people are "mining it, creating it. It's also used for variety of needs."

or maybe

"google it".

Federal Reserve System defined:

Quote

The Federal Reserve System (FRS) is the central bank of the United States. The Fed, as it is commonly known, regulates the U.S. monetary and financial system. The Federal Reserve System is composed of a central governmental agency in Washington, DC, the Board of Governors and 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks in major cities throughout the United States.

You see how the definition left out all the scandal?

Bitcoin is a centralized currency that is heavily mined by Chinese mining farms and also price manipulated by Chinese exchanges.

The American creators made most of their money and moved on after 2013 price spike.

They let China hold their bag because they knew that the sheer volume of the Chinese population would keep Bitcoin afloat.

The Altcoin market is like trading penny stocks.

The Altcoin market is controlled by all the American creators that took Bitcoin profit in 2013.

They run most of the successful altcoin trading exchanges.

They also help to inflate the Bitcoin market price by allowing worthless altcoins to pump and dump on their exchanges without prejudice.

Mining Bitcoin = unprofitable for the little guy

Day trading BItcoin = unprofitable for the little guy

Also, if you live in the US prepare to pay the IRS as they recently just ordered Coinbase to hand over user account records for tax purposes.

Hope this helps.

1. Bitcoin is digital currency with a predetermined fixed maximum amount of bitcoin that will ever be in existence.

2. Bitcoin is decentralized, meaning that no government or central authority directly controls the price/value of bitcoin or the means by which bitcoins come into existence.

3. With a Bitcoin wallet, you become your own bank and can transact business directly with others around the world who have bitcoin wallets and with minuscule transaction fees.

1. I will point it to bitcoin.org as a start and tell him to read everything about bitcoin in that website, this will give him a few basics.

2. I will talk about wallets, I will talk real fast, will tell him that the best wallets are hardware ones, he can spend a few bucks to buy one. This will inevitably tell him a few other basics of how bitcoin works , the user manual of the wallet will tell him how to set it up, what is a seed etc. He will have a basic explanation here of the seed and it's function.

3. Read a lot on google about bitcoin, watch youtube videos and in the end I will redirect him here in bitcointalk.org and tell him to ask a few questions he may have in the beginning cause people are really helpful and passionate about bitcoin in here.

You are anonymous. This is probably the best feature before how easy it is to send and receive money. Being anonymous matters a lot no matter you're a criminal or an innocent. Everybody hates the governments and this is one way to stay away from them. Another great feature is how easy and fast you can earn money with Bitcoin, and this forum is the best example for this feature.

I would say the following:
Bitcoin is very cheap to send form person to person, otherwise known as low transaction fees.
Bitcoin can be a store of wealth a bit like gold and silver but easier to carry around.
Bitcoin is not created by some government or printing press and it has a limited supply.
I think for now that might peak their interest.

Some dude at the bus station wants to know what bitcoin is.
you don't have much time and he won't be able to take in to much information.
a simple look it up online won't do, because that's not interesting enough to read a lot of boring stuff online.

What are 2-3 short(!) key features of bitcoin, which i could tell him, so that he has a basic understanding what it is? And of course so he will be interested to learn more about it.

*Bitcoin is Anonymous, meaning you didn't know whos sending/accepting bitcoin, you didn't know his/her address.
*Bitcoin is a Lightweight, you can withdraw at any time, you can also send anytime.
*Bitcoin is Growing, people are now accepting Bitcoin in their lives as well as their businesses.
*Bitcoin is intangible, you can't be robbed at certain places and also you don't need some cards to withdraw. Just your own account.

You should have opened with, "How would you like to be your own bank?"

I think if we use bitcoin, we did not become a bank because bitcoin just like other currencies. Better read this article.

Bank is a financial institution licensed to receive deposits and make loans. Banks may also provide financial services, such as wealth management, currency exchange and safe deposit boxes. There are two types of banks: commercial/retail banks and investment banks. In most countries, banks are regulated by the national government or central bank. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bank.asp

1. An asset of earth like Gold.
2. Digital currency that has made the banks and money transfer systems (such as WU/Moneygram) afraid.
3. Search bitcoin on Google.

If you are really interested in teach others about bitcoin, perhaps you should be more committed to learn firstly about this ecosystem with seriousness, and fortunately there are lots and lots of available information on the Internet. This personal research could be also useful for you to increase the quality of your posts here because you can't depend all the time on the support of others to understand this altcoin ecosystem.

I think you just need to prepare a "name card" for promoting bitcoin- which includes the features of bitcoin and the person can read over again. Include some small amount like 1mBTC and tell the person that it worth $0.50! You might want to check the address again in future to see how long it takes for the 1mBTC to be claimed.
