Bitcoin is decentralized and bitcoin can be used as the mode of payment in some business and also bitcoin can be used to send some funds wherever you are whenever you want,. bitcoin is increasing the value itself,

Bitcoin do not increase it's own vale by itself, because if it can do it, bitcoin will be having a great price even in it's first release. The value depends on the users of the digital currency, the more the user, the higher the value. The same with the price, the higher the demand, the higher the price.

Offering Escrow 0.5 % fee

it is getting overused sometimes when a lot of my friends really don't know what is BTC that makes me stupid too. Nevertheless as for the title says you need to know it for oneself I guess that is the fundamental thing you could do to know what is this about.

Even in Wikipedia doesn't know if a group of people made the Bitcoin.

What do you say when asked this question from a friend who has only heard its name mentioned a few times in the news and has no clue. I find myself lately taking the easy way out and suggesting google. I would prefer to give a clearer answer, but usually saying something leads to more questions and more confusion.
If someone could point me to a twitter type answer that would inform and twig their curiosity, i think it would be a better outcome.

I know right !! I'm not really eager when i hear that question, some part of me wants to explain and the other part is like no don't do it you'll confuse them even more. So in real life i usually hide the fact that i know about bitcoin and seem clueless just to avoid getting asked.

I think this is a thing I usually encounter when someone wants to know what is bitcoin. Some of them, they just ask out of curiosity but there are still people who would ask me because they want to invest or put their money and time on it. But I think if they are really desperate to know what is bitcoin, they will be willing to find an answer without asking me all of it. I am the same at my first time here but I did not ask my friends so much about it but I've watch a lot of videos, read a lot of article to know more about it. You must not bear their problem but you just need to guide them.

I also tell them to google it if they want more information. Honestly it's fucking annoying when people that are clueless start making all these questions. It's going to be easy for them to just start doing some research. I tell them that it's a decentralized currency but it's better used as a store of value rather than a currency because it's honestly pretty stupid to spend your BTC on groceries when you know it's going to go up, similarly to how it's stupid to buy groceries with gold.
