Thanks, that document actually is really good. And it defines some of the most common terms really well.

Who would have thought a bank would do a good job of educating others on Bitcoin :p Quite ironic.

Preaching the gospel of Satoshi

I think that the best analogy to explain the mining process is the one used by the paper by the Bank of America.

Making a video about it would be great.

I kind of skipped over this Wink

Preferably not too long, between 5-15 minutes if possible.

Yes, that's a good one.

I am looking for something which goes a little more into depth on what Bitcoin is and how it operates-- something between this video and a highly technical video by Andreas Antonopolous.

I have quite a few people on Facebook who are curious what is Bitcoin and how does it work. I'm trying to decide what is the best video or two to show them without overwhelming them.

What is the best simple video that explains the basics of Bitcoin to new people?

Preferably not too long, like less than 15-30 minutes if possible.
