It is imperative that "Why Bitcoin?" steer well clear of any crazy political bias, conspiracy theory, etc.
Wow. I'm really glad I watched that video.
Makes me wanna do SOMETHING for bitcoin like right now, it may be time to get serious folks.

Not a big fan of Apple, never stood in line to buy iStuff. So the opposite side of "Why" is "Why NOT to".
I guess I just found out why Bitcoin has caused such polarized reactions.

Bitcoin's potential to "change the world" makes Apple look like a pathetic seller of mundane slave-labor-produced electronics.
there needs to be a grass roots movement to hit the streets and pass out flyers at political rallies or demonstrations, so more people can get involved with bitcoin. We need someone in here that is good with photoshop to make flyers available to all users to print and handout on the streets with a weblink giving more info about bitcoin and how it will change the world.
Great segment. Definitely worth the 18 min.
Yeah I thought it was so applicable to everything going on with Bitcoin, it was uncanny.
Edit: My thread was merged with an old threat and retained its new title...confusing and a little disagreeable. Meh.

Thanks for sharing this... it was truly inspiring. This gives me more confidence in my vision to bring Bitcoin to the mainstream. I have known for weeks while making my "How" to do "What" business plans that was my "Why" 
"Nobody" will want bitcoin until they don't want the dollar or whatever other currency. If Greece goes bad, or the US banks release the infinite money they got through TARP (up to China), then we'll see.
Still thinking about it.. Perhaps an even simpler tagline would be good.
Why Bitcoin ?
Because its your money, not The Banks.
Take complete control of your cash - Use Bitcoins
or even
Why use Bitcoins ? - Because it is Unstoppable Money
Ok, I'll shutup now.

we shall wait until a faithful bitcoin adopter go to the public and tell people "why bitcoin". That man will be refereed as a leader.
Hey my early adopter friends. Let me assume for a second that you like I believe that Bitcoin is the greatest invention of our recent time and it is in our best interest and the interest of the whole world to get a critical mass of people use it and support it.
I think we're already doing a pretty good job of it but I also think there's a lot of room to grow. And in that spirit I was hoping you'd sacrifice 18min and watch the following presentation:
Simon Sinek: How great leaders inspire action
Thank you for your time.

You linked. I followed. Deserves a bump.
T-Shirt idea:
Ask Me
Why Bitcoins?
(insert Bitcoin image here)
I posted the above then moved on only to come back to this a few minutes later to write this: Hell with a t-shirt. How about a tattoo? And parade yourself in Sturgis, SD.
Heh, until Steve Jobs started taking a percentage from the "Istores" and people started "Jailbreaking" to avoid it.
Then the whole system would balkanise and likely collapse. Once we get past the initial "Those clever geeks / early adopters have more coins than I do, Waah !" stage, then there is no incentive for anyone to move to a competing system with smaller fees or a different overlord that undercuts bitcoin, because its hard to make a new profitable system that works on 10 cent fees.

"Apple apple apple."

iCoin would crush bitcoin.
The Federal Reserve would crush iCoin before it had a chance to finish the job. Paper, rock, scissors.

"Banks Suck / Ask yourself, can we really afford a system that cost 700$ billion to fix?"
(You changed it while I was replying "Banks Suck / Ask yourself, can we really afford a system that cost 700$ billion to fix?"
)Poingnant, but doesnt really say anything positive about Bitcoins and why they are better, just that the current system sucks..
Timing can be important
Perhaps there was something else going on about the same time ($32 coins, Media Coverage, or dealing with an influx of Trolls ?) that buried your suggestion before anyone noticed it ? Dont feel bad, be glad its getting a second chance

Interesting. Almost 3 weeks ago I posted this exact same thing and look how many people showed their interest back then: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12842.0
I like the basic concept, but I would simplify the opening statement into something more punchy and powerful.
Something like this..
Why Bitcoin ?
Because when you want to pay or reward someone, the ONLY people who should get to handle your money are you and the recipient. Noone else should be able to touch it.
Our current financial systems are *full* of middlemen who all take their cut and control your money on its way.
Bitcoin has *none*. Your money goes direct from you to your payee. Noone can stop, block or freeze it. It can cross the worlds borders in seconds without restraint or delay. Noone can take their cut, fee or percentage from it. Noone can interfere with your money going directly to where you want it to. Your money is under *your* control, The way *your* money should be.
Bitcoin is total freedom for your money to do what *you* want it to.
Isnt it about time the world had a form of money like this ?

Hows that for a first cut ?
