Either way, it's still something quite out of the ordinary for most people, so it's pretty hard to explain...
In fact, they are not very understanding, sometimes even to stop you. Think of it as a scam and sometimes do not want to explain it. People who understand you will always understand.
There is some truth in the fact that some people are better listeners and also better interactive or maybe just interested in a variety of topics.
Sometimes you do not know about someone's areas of interest until either they ask or something in your environment sparks the conversation in a certain direction, and one thing leads to another, and the next thing you know, talking about crypto.
On a weekly basis, I have anywhere between 5-10 people that either I talk with about bitcoin or the topic comes up, and sometimes these are folks that are brand new to bitcoin or crypto and other times they have had some exposure to the topic. Sometimes, I see them in a quasi public location in which I have three computers that are running in various spots, and each of the computers have bitcoin tickers running (my two favorite to keep up on the screen in order that I can see it from a variety of angles is bitcoinity.org and bitcoinwisdom.com).
So sometimes folks will see the bitcoin ticker and they will ask about what it is or guess what it is, for example suggest that it is the stock market or something like that. So, if the topic goes down the bitcoin road, then I am more than willing to discuss, and if they start to talk about various other cryptos, then I am not too interested in discussing other cryptos, so there is a bit of a two way street about whether people know anything, and how much either they or I am interested in the topic. If they get me talking about bitcoin, then that is when we get into potential information overload territory in terms of my willingness to share (in the event that they are interested in the topic). If I sense that peeps are not interested in the topic, it is easy enough to change topics, and in other words, I do not push it.
So the punch line is that ease of explaining does have some connection to the level of interest of the audience, which may be different time 1 or time 2 or time 3, etc.
