Bitcoin Forum

So I've been involved in Bitcoin and crypto for about 5 months now and just about everyone I tell about it being friends and family most have never heard of it or the few that have they have no understanding of it so I was just curious into how others explain it all to total newcomers is their a webpage or video you may show for an easy understanding to explain it all ? Whenever I give my explanation it seems to go way over their head  ::) Cheers

it is very easy to teach them and tell them what is cryptocurrency aka Bitcoin and other alternative currency,
give them an example how it works,do not tell them to watch a videos or even read a website/blog or something like that because they will get bored and not intrested to learn it anymore.
for example :
you or your friend/family(or someone that you want to teach them) want to buy something use that as a topic how to use it and how it works.

just remember,if you want to teach them don't tell them but give them an example or try to buy something for them and show them the process

You can find some educational videos of bitcoin on youtube site.  Maybe because if youre the one who tells and explains them about bitcoin youre only making things more complicated for them to understand

This has been discussed many times, nevertheless see the best way to explain I would say it's a digital Fiat, sometimes the word crypto currency does not seems. Easy. Then I would suggest you to tell them to make a small investment and see the magic unfold. It's simple it's a digital cash, unregulated, no taxes, free from worldly risks. You can use this cashless system to buy out anything you want and everything. This is simple as it gets.

Already predictable, it is not easy for us to explain what is Bitcoin and crypto coin in newcomers.
  But if i explain that i will try with some videos from youtube because with video maybe they will more easily understand what we explain, plus i will also tell what i know about bitcoin and crypto coins on them, if need i will tell From the root.  ;)

,it is never that easy to explain on someone regarding this matters, but you need to further explain to him/her how does it work, answer all the questions they are going to throw on you. As i have experienced, you need to tell him fully detailed about bitcoin, basic and so many other stuff, before you tell him how to earn. Right now newcommers doesn't listen to basic, and the first thing they might ask was, how to earn? Or where to earn? Or even how much did you earn? Basically that are the basic questions I have always heard.

Do not bother explaining bitcoin to others if you yourself do not have enough knowledge about the ins and outs of bitcoin. They will just ask you questions that you will not be able to answer and instead of getting them to join bitcoin, you'll just drive them away. Have enough knowledge about bitcoin and you will be talking it to them that is easy to understand.

When I'm explaining Bitcoin to a person that heard it the first time, I always tell him to do research about it. The meaning of Bitcoin, the origin and its purpose then I'll tell him to ask me if ever there are questions that he don't understands. I also tell him to avoid investment sites for the meantime because he doesn't fully understand it and there are lots of scam sites.

What I tell people: it's basically internet 2.0, everything we know and use will be run on blockchain in the future. This internet of things which people always hype will be run on a blockchain. If you don't understand the really technical things behind it just tell them what the possibilities are with it.

My friends and relatives are like that, when  talk about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, they are all surprised and do not know what it is but they are interested in it. I explained, instructed them and now they know a bit. I think you should first simplify things, explain the easiest for them, tell them Bitcoin is a coin, it works on the internet, is the currency of technology, it is as valid as other currencies. You have to go with them, attract them otherwise they will be very discouraged and abandon the intention to learn about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

i agree to your opinion what is bitcoin or crypto teach step by step about the importance of bitcoin in the crypto currecies until the person fully understand about bitcoin as a currency and i show the person want to learn about the bitcoin give the link in youtube starting of knowledge about crypto.

At first, it was hard for me to explain to my friends and family about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. It's sometimes hard at first because the idea of a digital currency found in the internet is unfathomable for some. Their initial reactions would be that it is not true and that it does not exist simply because it is found online. They have this notion because a online scams are rampant these days. I guess the best way would be to show them actual proof of its usage, its advantages and benefits.

Actually, I just experienced this a while ago that I explain or share this bitcoin to my collegues, so this is what happened, I ask them, do you know what is bitcoin? have you heard this before? then their mind blowed up because I tell them too that this thing makes my life so easy and at ease. So I let them watch some videos at youtube because it is more informational than the way you can inform, then after  I show them my account where I store my coin. So from that they had the urge to learn on how they can earn that too.

I believe someone who has just sumbled on this site without having knowledge in Bitcoins will not be interested to register. I am pretty sure they were informed already like me and bitcoin  already is not something unfamilliar to them. Maybe not totally knowledgeable about it but i'm sure they've heared about it already. When i first  got in to this site, i was quite confused so i did nothing but read and read and read the topics being talked about in this forum. So all i can say is. As time goes by, just by reading and interacting with others in this forum you will come to know more and more about bitcoin.

Teeling about cryptocurrency to newcommers seems to be interesting. I have told many such newbies about cryptocurrency and have influenced them to use cryptos. Just tell them the profits and the importance of cryptocurrency. Also try to mention about free crypto and mining. It seems more interesting to the newbies and they are surely attracted to it.

I would follow the same way which my friend used to explain me about the concept of bitcoin.First i would ask him to watch the you tube video"The Rise & Rise of Bitcoin".It would give them a clear idea of what bitcoin is.Then i would ask them to just read the basic topics in bitcointalk.org.Then i would show them practically how to download a wallet and how to send and receive bitcoins and how to earn bitcoins by trading or by working in signature campaigns obviously.

Try telling them about how to earn bitcoins. It definitely attractes many users as free money values a lot in everyone's life. Even you can tell them to open a account in Unocoin so that they can get some bitcoins for free there. I always tell them from small profits like various faucets, etc. Faucets also attracts many users to claim their bitcoins and get started to the bitcoiners field. Even i started from faucets at the beginning.

There are heaps of youtube videos on the subject of Bitcoin and a lot of them explain Bitcoin super well, try to find one with heaps of graphics for them to understand the blockchain and how everything works. Youtube can solve a lot of your problems :)

After they start understanding how bitcoin works, maybe give them a bit to play with, say 0.01 BTC. If they are into gaming, teach them how Bitcoin can be used to buy them and for trading items in them. Otherwise, show them a couple of stores that accept Bitcoin and help them make their first payment.  

There are a lot of youtube videos on  Bitcoin and many of them explain Bitcoin nicely, i try to explain more about technology and the blockchain and how to understand whitepaper.

The thing about bitcoin and cryptocurencies is that they are easy to understand, so explainng the basic thing for someone who never knew what they are is a pretty strate forward thing, just to give them a general idea and to get them started on it, and the rest they will learn over time as theu progress through it, just like we did.

The way that I will explain to a completely newcomer about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency is by describing it using the term "Digital Currency". With that, I will further explain how this Digital Currency works. That it is being used for transaction just like a regular currency and has its own rates when it is being converted into cash or currency for an individual's specific country.

When he or she will get the idea of it, then it will be easy to further explain on how Bitcoin can be earned in different ways like joining signature campaigns or use Bitcoin as kind of a investment instrument.

You can try showing them some graphical diagrams or graphical videos about the increment in the price for bitcoins. You can also show them some predictions about the price of bitcoin heading at least a minimum of 4000$. It will definitely attract users.

If you don't find this useful, find a good way but always try to attract as many as possible newbies to the bitcoin and crypto field.

For me I ask them if they already know cryptocurrencies if not then I have to teach or tell them a short tale of how do I know bitcoin and how do I earning from bitcoin so that I got there attention and they are eager to listen. I give them bitcoin links, presentation and specially I show them my earnings. To be honest I'm not really very good on talking and convincing people but I already have some recruit of my friends to have bitcoin just what I did now. ;)

When I showed my friends about bitcoin, it was like teaching them to start learning words again. They are a little bit difficult to get started because the bitcoin concept is not easy to understand for those with inexperienced backgrounds.

first you need to be patient when teaching because not all people will easily understand bitcoin. If you want to teach them do it hands on if they were near you. Like we can buy some merchandise in online and by paying up your utility bills for transaction. tell the what is the use of bitcoin

We all start from basics don't we? I prefer explaining it in a way everybody we'll be able to understand the fundamentals of wher bitcoin originate, when it started, how it was founded and then I'll start to explain briefly what is bitcoin. Bitcoin is not hard to explain to average people because its just another form of currency which the main difference to any other currencies is it is in the form of digital. Since the millenial generation is greatly involved in the technology industry, I probably doubt it that someone would be troubled explaining what is bitcoin to them. :)

I recently sent this to a newbie.... I like it as its from a science channel and has had over 800K hits so those two things should help instill confidence in someone approaching this for the first time:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kubGCSj5y3k&feature=youtu.be

I might make Paypal as an example then upgrade it with bitcoin explanation.
I do think Paypal for them is the most understandable to be as an example since it is just USD input online.
Just stretch everything after that then maybe you could somehow make him or her understand it.
Next would be videos and focus on bitcoin first before trying to explain other crypto currencies or it would just be a waste.

Understanding whitepapers is important. And also youtube videos will help but be aware of scam videos. Youtube has many scam videos and no doubt some are a good source of information about bitcoins but the remaining videos force me to avoid using youtube as a reference.

You can also introduce many people here to this forum. This forum also provides all possible information about all cryptocurrency including bitcoins.

5 months, this is not a long time for you to understand everything about bitcoin, you need more time. Me too, I got to know Bitcoin about 8 months ago, and now it's giving me lots of chances to get rich, but I have not got it yet.

Exactly,most people still do not know about bitcoin and have never heard about it.
When i meet someone quite strange,i keep telling about its feature like anonymity, ease, value and volatility.  It makes them feel happy learning such portable appropriate curren y

I will prefer this forum is the best place to learn about any crypto currency. Yes in youtube many scam videos are there, and they will easily scam newcomers. But the thing is how the newcomers will find which video is legit and which is not. So this forum will explain them in detail what is Bitcoins and how it works in the real world and other things about Bitcoin.  

So you just suddenly lecture to a stranger about bitcoins? Like come up to a guy at a bar out of the blue and teach him about bitcoins? That would be creepy as hell dude.

If I would want to spread the word about bitcoins then I would just write about it in blogs or other written ways. This is an easier way to distribute the knowledge faster. Also sharing it on social media is a good approach to spreading the word.

just say to them that bitcoin is a kind of money which keep on increasing and we can put it in online banks. and if we want money we can easily get into banks by transaction.

Yes, but understanding the cryptocurrency field is not as easy. It has many ups and downs and can also give huge looses if not proper strategy used. Many new people will think that it may be scam, etc so trying to show them some whitepapers and some legal announcements will help them to start trusting bitcoins.

This is a clever and effective way to introduce bitcoins to newcomers. Firstly, you must make the idea of digital currencies clear in their minds and then what bitcoins are. At last, tell them about how BTC is ruling the crypto currency world and all of its cool features like high level security and huge profits due to its increasing value. To keep them in business, give them temptation of luxurious life. Simple and efficient tactics to persuade people!

To explain it, I think you should just say the basics. You can just go straight and say “Bitcoin is a digital currency, with a greater value. It can be used for peer to peer transactions.”
After that, you can go ahead to add other things of interest, like telling them it can used as long investment, shopping and a lot more. Anything you can come up with to convince them.

In my case as newbie, when I started asking about bitcoin to my friends who are already in this business before me, they just give some links where I can learn about it. And also in this forum, they encourage me to read some essential guidelines in order to familiarized myself. Just read and suddenly you will learn everything without noticing it to yourself.

explain in easy statement, try with bitcointalk first, cause in this step they can earn bitcoin easily.
explain bitcoin is money virtual, and you can show how to earn from other way.

A new person will never try when he does not try it himself. Believe that when there is a will then we can easily understand a new thing, including bitcoin. So if only explanation but no will then it will not produce anything.

I explain some basic needs of a person that really learn first. I ask him/her if he/she have an idea of bitcoin then if have i can go to the next step then i'll try to send some sites that he/she can learn.

I've been doing this from quite a while now and start off by describing it as a 'digital currency'. Then I come to the security part where I explain how it is totally secure and decentralized. Later, I address mining and other methods of acquiring BTC. Next up, I tell the history of Bitcoin and tell them to read the whitepaper and how Satoshi mined the first coins. Finally, I tell them to access http://preev.com/ and look at up the price of 1 BTC and make them realize what its value was back when it released.

Firstly I explain him the most important things about Bitcoin, what is it and how it works, then I invite him to this forum, because reading the useful threads here will teach him a lot of useful info not only about Bitcoin, but about crypto currencies generally.

i will just explain to them the basics in an easy way. if they show interest then i will guide them to what they want to know. but not all the things i know, only a few. i want them to explore things here by themselves, and i will make sure that they i wont spoonfeed them

I asked this question myself. I stumbled over a steemit article  (https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@robertdurst10/a-guide-to-being-the-crypto-guru-how-to-explain-to-people-what-crypto-is-and-where-they-should-get-started)called "A Guide to Being the Crypto Guru - HOW to Explain to People What Crypto is And Where They Should Get Started" which describes a wonderful way to explain the technology to people with different technical knowledge. His strategy is divided into three steps: Gauge knowledge level, understand interest and motivation and direct on the path to enlightenment. Depending on the different levels there is a different way to explain.

If only explain about bitcoin and crypto maybe not everyone who can directly understand, for me to explain to someone it should be tried alone do not just listen it, if not understand new I explain it

I also experienced the same thing as you, explaining the length and the results make them dizzy, so I prefer to explain via video from youtube. And if they still do not understand then I just tell them to find out for themselves.

Honestly people are attracted to income and earnings and hated learning and reading.  If you want to catch your audience attention, you can try to bait him into earnings with bitcoin.  If you have established your finance with bitcoin then this will be easy.  Else telling them to come to this thread will only be a waste of time if you do not tell him the reason why he should visit this thread.  Though the way you explain bitcoin should depend on who your audience is, the status in life and interest.

There are many videos available on youtube, you can ask your friends to go through to these videos. Ask them to register on this forum and to spend some time here; this forum has everything to learn about bitcoins.

Well i would probably explain it to them the same way as i explained crypto and bitcoins to my parents : Tell them that it is almost same as internet money. They don't have to know anything about blocks, mining or other technical stuff, tell them that it is money that you have to special wallets for them an that's it.

My method of explanation of new comers is very easy. I can simply say that in old ages there was system of buying and selling the items which was called barter system. Then the real gold coin were introduces and later on the currency paper system was introduces in recent past.

Now as the world is more modern I gave them the example of mobile balance that it can be used only for to talk with each other and the bitcoin balance can be used for every purpose just like normal currency.

When a newcomer is asking me about Bitcoin, I usually first ask them what are the things they know about it so that I will know what to teach. If they will say that they don't know a thing, I will tell them to do some research first, I want them to search for the meaning and history of Bitcoin. Afterwards, I will tell them my experiences on Bitcoin investments. I will also share to them my trusted investment sites and it's up to them if they will invest also or not. I will tell them to be extra careful and invest only what they can afford to lose.

very hard to explain what is bitcoin to those who don't really understand what is cryptocurrency because learn about cryptocurrency cannot be instantly and we have to learn gradually until we understand however this forum already provide usefull informations regarding bitcoin so why not just showing to them this forum

I think you are missing best interesting point of cryptocurrency world is decentralization, nobody can control our money and not have inflationary when use Bitcoin (because still have many altcoin inflationary as BCN).

Yes it is tough to explain what is Bitcoin to complete newcomer. At least if they have basic knowledge about digital currency, we can try to explain. For me, it takes few months to complete about digital currency, and still, i have doubts in that a newcomer will need min couple of dedicated hours to know what is bitcoin. And yes this forum is the best place to learn about Bitcoin.

I do believed that most of the member in this forum or none of them  including me didn't get easily understand for  an hour for what bitcoin really means. So, I think if there's a newcomer keep it simple and short, explain only the usages that's it. ;)

Exactly, explain the benefits of Bitcoins and how to grab them, don't bother explaining the complicated technology used. It will just make things hard for him and for you as well. With the passage of time, he will develop interest in it and may ask you certain questions, then go uncovering details.

When someone ask me what is bitcoin I get my phone then I show them how its work  ( w/ explanation ) I show to them some videos to easily understand what is bitcoin. Show them a proof of income from bitcoin. Its not easy to explain if the person not interested. So don't bother your self if they don't want to understand   what is bitcoin. The important you shared knowledge about bitcoin to help others.

yup its hard to explained, try to start explained to them about how to get income or profit using online because talking about income or money the person or people focus the interest about that matter, introduce bitcoin as the soource of income i think person you want to be part in crypto currency, explaining smoothly and teach them the foundamental of the crypto currency to convince them.

I will give them the very basic info about bitcoin such as who invented it and what it is. And for the rest, I'd rather save myself from explaining. I'd just tell them to watch videos and read articles about bitcoin.  ;)

In my own words I would describe bitcoin as that form of money, that serves two functions as money and as an investment. So you see, having bitcoin gives you an edge over someone holding a $5 note. However if you have $5 worth of bitcoin today, it could get to $1 tomorrow, however it could get $10, that’s where the uncertainty comes in.

I explain bitcoin or cryptocurrency to complete newcomer through sharing my experiences and how I earned a lot of money using this stuffs.I am explaining things in the most practical way that they will understand it comprehensively.

Frist i prove to them bitcoin is real money ! I show them my bills ! My earning from bitcoin ! Then i show them bitcoin price now ! They can see how much does 1 coin cost ! Then i show them the easiet way to earn bitcoin ! If they interesting in bitcoin and you ! You can teach them to trade bitcoin !show them this bitcointalk forum ! Also talk about his or her dream ! Bitcoin is a thing hat easily make his or her dreams come true ! So they will very interesting in you ! Or you can give them some little bitcoin ! Teach them  to trade ! They earn first money ! They will happy and follow you !

I will define it by a virtual currency which is making a change and a mess at the same time in the global economy.
It costs now around 4k dollars and it is raising more and more, so hurry up and buy some.

I think this idea for define the cryptocurrency to a digital currency it will be more clear for the newcomer in this community. We always should choose the simplest words to explain any news topic to peoples, because they will be more interessed if they start understand what you said, and after that you can start to explain all keywords, and the advantage of uses of bitcoin.

to me i already explaining bitcoin in my ares to newcomers and to my friends also. in very beginning the response of the peole was not as good but now they have started taking interest there. hope that the interest of the people will continue increasing for a long time. because still only 1% people only know about bitcoin but its number is increasing continuously.

Its little bit hard to explain it to newcomers as they find it complicated at primary stage so we should keep things simple and teach them the basics of bitcoins instead of showing them the technical aspects of bitcoins as when I showed my friends how I am earning from signature campaign they easily agreed to work on it as they found it the most easiest way to earn money.

I will define it by the currency of the future, and the shortest road for being wealth !
The currency which has exceeded all  the limits by her value and which canceled all the predictions on her lifetime.

Well I explained to them that I earn money with Bitcoin and show them my wallet. ;D It is really hard for them to understand if you will tell them word by word since it might annoy them and lost their interest. That happened with my friends before I give them ideas about Bitcoin but non of them got interested but when I posted my screenshot of my wallet with my Bitcoin balance on "my day" feature on messenger they started to ask me how did I do that and they are now asking me to teach them. That's the only way I can prove to people without knowledge about cryptocurrency most especially Bitcoin. It sounds funny but it is 100% working for me.

My friend never explain to me about bitcoin and crypto he teach me how to make wallet of bitcoin and gave me link about bitcoin. I'm study on my own also about trading i search it and i learned some and i want to learn more by searching and self study.

if anyone asks what is bitcoin or cryptocurrency i first assess them, if they are really interested with the subject or not, because most people in my country doesn't understand what bitcoin really is, most people who asks me, tend to just fool around and say it is just a scam it is of no value, it is just network marketing, wherein they will need to cash out, in order to obtain bitcoin. I first advise them to check the history of bitcoin and how it came about and if they are really willing to have a venture in the crypto world, I advise them to download an app, that when you load it with fiat, you can convert it bitcoin anytime, then I advise them to download a desktop wallet or buy and external hard drive to download the wallet or go online to buy a USB wallet, I don't advise them paper wallet, since they are new. after that, I explain to them why bitcoin is great, even though there a lot of cryptocurrencies out there, one friend of mine even ask he wanted to but the billion coin, I advised not to since it is purely a ponzi scam. I also advise them to not be greedy since there are a lot of scam sites, wanting to take their bitcoins, so they must not give away their key nor wallet address to anyone online, unless they trust the person they are in transaction with. then lastly I advise them to join the forum, to read first everything so they will understand more cryptocurrency, since it is much different from banks.

Hmm for me, first i will explain to them the definition or meaning of bitcoin. But of course, till that point, most of them still don't understand. So, i add explanation with the examples. So they can understand more. And then, tell how it works, what we need to do, what should and shouldn't we do, and in the end, ask them to try. But, we need to guide them here so they're not lost. If we practice it, it will help them to understand more rather than explaining. Or maybe, we can ask them to watch us when we're earning money in bitcoin, selling our btc and something else.

Yes it's a good idea that we should give them our own ideas about bitcoins and give some proof that bitcoin is a  good way to earn money because of that they may become curious and start their own journey in bitcoin.

I first explain that our world is now on a era where the technologies is one of the game changer and the one we are going to use in the future and we should be learning the different kinds of technologies from computers, cellphones up to the currency and if they will ask what do i mean in currency then i will introduce bitcoin to them and why it is best to get into it while it is not too late and after that i will explain the simple things how bitcoin works and what are the benefits that we might get in having bitcoin.

Each and every individual has their own way of explaining bitcoin and other currencies to a complete newbie. I usually start by asking if you have heard of bitcoin, I understand that a slight understanding of bitcoin, might give you a slight understanding of what cryptocurrencies are. I would explain bitcoin and the fact that it has so much value, and finally that there are altcoins as well. I will only tell you that and further recommend you read and research for yourself.

It's quite easy really. However, it depends how savy the people you're trying to teach are. If they have no background on whatsoever like the concept of what money is and how it works then the harder it is, so you may have to teach them first what "money" is, maybe a history. While savy people are way easier to teach. Knowing your audience maybe the key. In this way, you'll how much information you needed to inject them.

It is really hard to explain the bitcoin and the cryptocurrency to the people who doesn't aware about that. I experienced that when I explained the bitcoin to my friend. I explained to him to how the bitcoin works and what is it, when I finished explained it he replied to me "huh?" and "I did not get it". It is not easy to explain the bitcoin.

It can be tough to explain for sure. I have gone into talking about how there is a private key and a public key, where you can put money on a public key but need access to a private key for holding that info.

I have also gone into how the keys are a very unique string of characters that is impossible to hack, so it is very secure.

As well as how there is a distributed ledger that allows for transaction verification and makes it impossible to hack because all have to be hacked at once, and the blockchain is where things start from.

But I know what you mean - it is hard to explain to people.

Having an idea of the blockchain is probably a good place to start. As blockchain becomes more and more prominent it will be interesting to see how information is conveyed.

Normally, I tend to explain Bitcoin based on my own understanding. In this way I could easily explain to them how does Bitcoin works. Also, I do show them some articles in which supports my explanations. Though, you must be prepared on the feedback you can get from your audience. Not all will easily understand your stand, and not all people will accept Bitcoin like you do. It will really take time for you to teach Bitcoin from scratch.

yes it's very difficult to explain bitcoin in beginner, many don't understand .. better explain simple and easy to understand ,, example ,, bitcoin is digital currency and price fluctuaktif, and in it we can sell and buy, buy cheap prices and sell when prices are high

Just explain to them that it is digital money and they are like gold that is also mined but through computer not mined physically. It has been existing for almost a decade and you can use it to purchase online as long as the seller accepts bitcoin. To be able to explain properly, show them your wallet and how you transact with it. If there is a store in your place that accepts bitcoin, you can go that place and maybe buy something using bitcoin for them to know that it is possible to use it to buy in physical stores.

We can tell bitcoin like that, thru trading. That is an explanation on how we can make money in bitcoin trading by buying low and selling it for a higher price than the price that we bought and we can also tell them that bitcoin is just like the common money that we use but it is more advanced because we can earn through it by just holding it for long term which the common money cannot do.

The easiest way to teach them is to show them what you are doing, for example in trading; show them a trading site and explain to them first what bitcoin is and what it could do then follow the explanation with what alternative coins are. Don't teach them all at once because for sure they won't understand it, teach them bitcoin like you are teaching a 5 year old kid.

I'll be saying them the things that my friend told me when he invited me to join and invest bitcoin. First, I'll be saying that he/she can earn money in this forum through joining various campaign signatures and from there, I'll be explaining the origin and nature of bitcoin. It is essential to explain that there are various ways of earning money without sacrificing too much of their time. But to explain bitcoin, I'll be saying that it is a cryptocurrency and just like gold, it only has a limited number of supply in the market and that factor determines its price.

I must agree that Bitcoin is difficult to explain due to its complexity. If I were to explain I would probably explain it on how I understand it. It's the easiest way to express myself clearly. After that, I'll stop there.Why? I would like to see how they react after my brief explanation Because not all are a fan of this type of industry. Most likely they will hesitate to go further and discuss more of this industry. As they already have in mind that this type of industry is a scam, that's a fact. People tend to reject opportunities without even trying or doing some background research on it. We always want to have and learn things instantly. Some people don't have time to do a simple research.

If ever that I've seen that they have a positive response to it and they're the one who engages to discuss further more about it, then it would be my pleasure to teach them what I know. BUT, I won't do spoon feeding. I want to them dig deeper and learn the complicated stuff on their own. Though, I'll still be guiding them by answering their questions.

"We can teach from our experience, but we can't teach experience."

Elaborate the financial benefits for everyone who knows and able to earn Bitcoin, is the best way to explain Bitcoin.

If someone continue to be interested, that would be the time to explain more.

At first I dont have an idea about bitcoin. But i try to educate myself in reading articles and doing some research and try to exchange ideas with other bitconers. So when a newcomer would ask me about bitcoin I can explain to them enough, with the language that is easy to understand because it is really a complex word, so I advice them to read more and educate their self more. But i dont want to spoon feed them Because I would like a newcomer to read more and really invest time with bitcoin.

But if  there's someone asking me and having a second thought about it And would often say it's a fraud or scam I just Ignore them because who knows I might me the next millioner!!! Thanks to bitcoin  ;)

Explaining bitcoin to someone who has zero knowledge about it is really hard. First try to explain what bitcoin means for example how we often describe it as a digital money then show them how to earn or what you can do with bitcoin. It is like encouraging them to use bitcoin because once they are interested they will be the one to research about it.

It's not easy for anyone to collaborate with a complete noob on the topic of Bitcoins, but there are better ways to attract them towards the subject by asking them to invest first and feel the difference between Bitcoins and fiat. Once the excitement arises, just start telling them that an experiment was conducted to check if some digital tokens may be sent to the other party anonymously or not, and people liked it, valued it and that's what is Bitcoin is all about - perfectness. After that, grab their attention with some ^new^ words for them such as blockchain, altcoins, ICOs, etc. and make them understand everything step by step.

I think the most important thing is to take your time with potential invrstors and answer all of their questions as best as you can and reassure tem in their purchase.

at first i introduce bitcoin as a digital currency and not about the technology yet. after that i will tell that person about this forum so they can look by themself and get information that they want

yes. we must know the basic basics of blockchain first to be able to explain about bitcoin. because bitcoin is closely related to blockchain. Apart from that, there will still be things you must explain about how they are used.

I was introduced bitcoin or cryptocurrency to the new comer by explaining what it is and the used and benefits you can get from it. I actually started by inspiring them based on the experience of the member..It is more fun and very helpfull if they also know how bitcoin works.

Just tell them that there is that possibility to you will earn with it (sideline), tney themselves will look fod answers. There are a lot resources over the net, so it won't  be hard for tbem to look into it and try rl earn some bitcoins for themselves.Don't you worry because the price of Bitcoin is getting higher, so t:hey would be amazed how the price went up like that.

Most of the times when I explained Bitcoin to other people or with my friends about the good thing about it they just listen and listen but never go into it maybe because they are busy or didn't really see the potential of it but it is okay with me. They are just asking over and over again when Bitcoin's price is going up with a new mile, and I am sure that when Bitcoin reaches the $10,000 mark they will ask the same questions over again.

I skip all the pain of discussing technology and its evolution, how it's changing everyone's life. It is sooo troublesome. I ask the guy questions like do you want to have a good future and try to tempt him. Human's are so predictable.

They do exactly what I want them to. Once, they have pictured themselves as KING (they do -_-), I reveal the way, Bitcoins. Simple.

I think most of it depends on whether people like bitcoin, whether or not they care about it.For me to explain to someone, I will explain the concept in the simplest way. And to convince them, I will give the results that I get when I work.

It might seem very tasking and confusing at first but with experience and carefully answering the inquisitive questions you should be able to explain very well to the newbie and clear doubts about it.

i just tell to them that it is a digital currency or digital money but the thing is the value of your money here can multiply because the value of the bitcoin increases but it depends on the market. Plus you can work here and earn bitcoin and also there are many ways here in order to earn bitcoin and i also told them that it's cool here because you can earn here without any hard work you just need enough knowledge.

The first thing I tell them is the idea of cryptocurrency what it is and how it works then when they were able to understand it I introduce bitcoin it's easy to teach about bitcoin when they have the knowledge with crypto currencies. I also encourage them to read some topic here in forum so they will know the history of bitcoin and other knowledge they need.

Bitcoin to newcomers is very hard to explain and I consider myself a newbie as my mentor is patiently taking some time to explain me everything from Bitcoin itself to earning like Signature Campaigns and trading and so, we had constantly discussions over internet. But anyway it's not that hard for me because google could explain everything through visual demonstrations.

In my opinion this is also quite an explanation, and in addition it might be better to give a tutorial on the performance of this forum which greatly contributes to bitcoin development.

It is really tough to make one understand the whole concept in a go, its better to introduce the concept and show video's related to crypto currency visual demonstration of the subjects gives them clear idea  than telling every thing and I will ask them to join forums to get a good picture of the whole concept.

I have just learned about bitcoin for about 2 months from now. And it is kind of puzzling for me even though I am into computers. Its not that easy to understand and it really really takes me time to halfly (not fully) understand it in order to cope up with some discussions about it. As for the moment, I'm still in research and reading about this to understand fully about it.

So, yesterday I explained this to my wife so that she may also be interested (she likes computers to, ex.fb), but its was waaay more difficult for her to understand it. So what I did is gave her youtube videos about bitcoin and every article about it to read and tell her to just ask me if there something she doesn't understand. I didn't force her and told her that she may watch it or read it only when she's free. I just hope this would turn out well for her.

Rather I want to ask them how they want me to tell. Whether they want to make money so I can tell them accordingly. Whether they want to enquire about just learning, I will tell them about that only. It only needs to give them a basic hint of what they exactly want. If we tell them all the things they might confuse at first, and it is so irritating.

We can't explain everything. We can explain to beginners just the basics. Then they themselves will learn what they are interested in. We can only answer specific questions. The trouble is that most Novikov I think that bitcoin is their way to easy money. Once they find out what is wrong they lose all interest in bitcoin.

I will leave off the first part which is related to mining because that can cause many questions. I will simply tell the noob about its present price and related future predictions, how it is earned, some of its benefits and how it is attracting masses over the globe. Giving a demo is also a good idea.

Why overwhelm the person with loads of information that's very hard to understand? If he's going to do research about it himself he will very likely give up when he comes over all the articles about Bitcoin splitting, private and public keys, hashing algorithms etc. It would be easier to teach him the simple parts of bitcoin. Only the essential stuff, and if he wants to learn more, then go ahead, link him some fairly easy to read stuff about bitcoin as it can become very technical sometimes.

When someone new to Bitcoin asks you about it, you should tell them just that Bitcoin is like virtual money. Or virtual gold. You can use it to buy things online and real life just like fiat, only it is better. Do not give too much explanation or they will not understand it.

Those things that you said is enough for them to get curious and that is right that we don't need to give them too much explanation because it will make them feel bored in listening about bitcoin and if they get curious with simple explanation then that is the right time to continue explanation up to the full details of bitcoin.

When people are asking me how do I making money on the internet, I explain them bitcoin as currency that exist only on the internet and has no physical form. Also I add that this currency can be easy exchanged on our national currency. And that's it. People understand, but don't hurry to join. I say that everything is in English and nobody of people around me do not speak it god enough for commenting. But when I explain that there are many national projects where you can earn bitcoin they count this as something hard and give up in the most beginning.

I will say "Bitcoin is like a fiat money that we normally used, but the difference is, it only exist in the Web". That's a single sentence but I am confident that the newcomer will easily comprehend and able to formulate new ideas in his/her mind. I know that's not enough to jusytify the meaning of btc so I advice him to do his reasearch and ask someone familiar with bitcoins to understand more. :)

I will give them the basic information about bitcoin as to who invented it and what it is. And in the rest, I want to free myself from the explanation. I just wanted them to watch the video and read the bitcoin articles.

I think the wise way to explain bitcoin to a new person who really don't know with bitcoin, we should explained to them step by step and we must use a simple explanation. Because if we explain complete to them at once time, they will just be confused and even ignore our explanation.

Einstein once said "if you can't explain it simply you don't understand it well enough" that's why if you think that the newcomers won't understand it at first from you, you shouldn't explain it at all just give them some videos on youtube or point to them some keywords to google.
But if you're comfortable with bitcoin just give it a shot and maybe they'll understand.

I encouraged my younger brother to use bitcoins and of course he doesn't know what I was talking about then, so I told him to download the wallet that I have been using and I have sent him a dollar worth of bitcoin. I told him to observe the fiat value of his bitcoin everyday; in that way he would be able to appreciate and kinetically learn how bitcoin works. Later on he bought bitcoins and he figured out other ways to earn it on his own.

I don't like the idea of spoon feeding by the way.

An introduction about Bitcoin to a newcomer might be a tough one to do in one seating, a newcomer at first needs to try all by himself on learning what Bitcoin is as it is already made available in the internet from hundreds of articles to threads in this forum everything can be read by the newbies. The only thing I am willing to help a newbie is when there is a really hard topic that needs some explaining to do in which is not readily available online.

Is very easy to teach a new comer to bitcoins and other cryptocurency is all about, first give them a short definition. That bitcoins is a digital currency that does not belongs to any central bank. Bitcoin is I discentralize currency's, and if they still don't understand but are still interest to know then give them a video or a website to visit.

I explained bitcoin to a new comer with a use of visual presentation. I will teach them the basics of bitcoin on why this bitcoin is created, what are the benefits if we use it. Advantage and disadvantages when using it. I will not rush to the point that he can earn with it. It's easy to teach new comers that wants to learn bitcoin because it's they are eager to learn the basics.

No doubt that the circle of the bitcoin is very wide it could be difficult to make all clear in short time but at least we can try it through the most easy way. First of all tell them what bitcoin is actually and then tell them the process of the bitcoin use make the most easy words to use and then explain the bitcointalk so that they will not find it difficult at the beginning step and will show interest in learning bitcoin so then tell them about their income in this forum.

I can explain and introduce bitcoin to a complete newcomer by first showing them what bitcoin is which includes telling them about bitcoins origins and possible use in the future. I can also give example to them by having myself as a model and user of bitcoin. I can also tell them that bitcoin is a cash less transactions that you don’t need to be near the person or go to a remittance center or bank to receive payments or send payments that they can use their mobile or pc to send money like in games.

Me as a bitconer user for almost 3 months reading here in  forum I should say I understand every meaning of crypto currency and digital currency of bitcoin.I also introduce it to my co workers and friends and Im glad they did not reject me about it.Sometimes I watch on youtube to make it fully understand while Im telling them my experience and also the experience of my husband who teach me here in bitcoin.They are inspires and continuing to joined in forum and want to learn more about cryptocurrency.

With Bitcoin price growth the number of newcomers is biger and biger each day. And I have the feeling that that many of them don't have patience to learn and listen but are only interested in fast profit. Usually I have to put a lot of effort to explian some basic information and they will learn the best on practical example. But I also recommend a lot of learnig and reading about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies before they actually enter the cryptocurrency world. This forum could be also the good point to start.

Bitcoin -  The new gold of this era. I will go directly to its value and tell them how much 1BTC will costs. In that way, they will be intrigued about bitcoin and i am quite sure they will start joining here too. Probably one of the effective way of convincing them is to tell them directly the value of bitcoin.

I beleive explaining bitcoin to new peoploe who have heard of it and they want to try getting in to it should not be that hard considering that they already have seen its price and know what it is, for new people you should always try explaining the basics like where to store them and a few way on how to earn it, you sould never dump all the informations you know to them that way they won't feel overwhelemed and think it is really complecaited when it is not, i know i did when my friend tought me about bitcoin i felt that it was really serious stuff when he started talking about the many ways he is using to earn bitcoin, just giving newcomers the basics just to get them started and to set them on the right track is all you can really do and the rest is just for them to learn on thier own from experience and searching on the internet.

Well for me,the best way of explanation is your experience.Its been proven be me off course.Though they are already using bitcoin I still have to persuade them to have some research about it and I have showed them the perks of having a bitcoin.They seem very interested and now they are already circulating some of their bitcoins to some investing sites.

Simple, teach them about how to get earn more money every month ? I bet a lot of people will learn about bitcoin without us having to teach them. crypto currency and digital currency is just a word that replaces the currency only but the way it works the same

Just keep it simple or it will confuse them. Don't get into specifics regarding the blockchain technology and such. Just tell them it's online money recorded on a public ledger which anyone can get into with minimal government interference. Tell them how much it's grown since the beginning to catch and keep their interest. The rest, they should probably research on their own.

There is no right way to explain Bitcoin or crypto to a newcomer. There are many different ways and people learn differently as well so you have to find a way to connect, but every time they'll just have to become more curious as they hear about it more and more.

When I first learned about bitkoin, I was full of enthusiasm and told all of them in a row about it. But everyone reacted very dejectedly. And besides, it was very difficult to tell about bitkoin to people who are not interested in it. Then I stopped doing this, and began to talk about the crypto currency only to those who really are interested in it. And it was a completely different conversation. People were open to new information, asked, and eventually injected some of the money into bitcoin. Therefore, do not talk about bitcoin all in a row, few people will want to listen to you, and if you find your listener, the speech about bitkoin will flow smoothly and calmly, and you do not even need to think what to say.

Actually teaching or explaining about bitcoin to others is a good way becuase all of us are start from newbie so if i explain about bitcoin to others i can say to them that "bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency and if you use this or if you invest here in bitcoin you will get a huge of money someday "

I teach about bitcoin or digital crytocurrency to people who are new to it.I usually tell them what i knew and how to learn about by giving some points to reasearch,and watch videos with them.

Simply point out the advantage if they use it and let them learn by themselves by searching through internet. Every explanation can already be seen there and what we can do is to answer their questions if its confusing.

Thats how i did with my sister who is already earning on her own, its a bit hard for her at first but day by day she definitely learn the significance of bitcoins, the uses and opportunity you can get in it.

I have used paypal as a parallel. read on:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
bitcoin is paypal for nerds

paypal is a virtual wallet, they use ur email address to track ur balance.

bitcoin is a software wallet. I use various apps to track our balance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
that's right, *I* hold the balance. not some 3rd party company like paypal. and my balance is posted on a public ledger that anybody can reference for authenticity.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
paypal uses regular currency like USD, EUR, etc

bitcoin uses a nerdspeak unit of measurement called satoshis. it is valid up to 8 digits. so that 1 satoshi is 0.00000001 bitcoins
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lets say ur paypal uses USD as base currency. and u have 10 usd in ur wallet. then the value in ur paypal wallet is 10usd.

but what if ur paypal balance is USD and u want to buy somthing with local currency say SGD, HKD.. this is possible, paypal wil simply convert ur USD balance to equivalent amount in SGD or HKD and ur supplier wil get paid in the currency they want using an exchange rate that paypal will impose on you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
as for bitcoin, conversion from btc to currency like usd is also possible but this has to be done manually. No standard gateway exists right now to readily convert btc to regular currency. Altho a lot of such services are already available in the market, linking btc balance to a debit card system.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the exchange rate from bitcoin to regular currency is volatile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
no ONE company or person is behind bitcoin. instead it is an autonomous decentralized platform .. what this means is that the users who participate in the ecosystem -- miners, wallet holders, vendors who accept bitcoin payment -- are the ones who collectively comprise the bitcoin 'organization'. with more participants in the ecosystem, bitcoin will thrive.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the more people who use bitcoin, the stronger it becomes. quite like paypal, in this regard, because paypal is only as valid as the number of participants willing to send/receive, payments, and keep stored value in their paypal wallets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
just as nobody is forced to use paypal... so it is that nobody is forced to use bitcoin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the same cannot be said about regular currency, like USD as an example. In the US, one is not supposed to refuse USD payment because laws exist to confer upon it the status of 'legal tender'. In the US, I understand that to refuse payment in USD is a misconduct that carries penalties.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because bitcoin has a finite supply (fixed maximum supply of coins) as against paypal currencies, the value of bitcoin 'satoshis' are wont to increase.. unlike the value of ur paypal balance which is exactly -- no more and no less -- than the regular money that it uses to measure ur balance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
for example if, 6 years ago, i deposited 10usd into my paypal wallet and did not touch it eve since, then today that wallet is worth exactly 10usd.
on the other hand, if 6 years ago i had deposited 10usd into my bitcoin wallet, then today that wallet would be worth.. around 1,800usd
for reference: 8 July 2011 = $31.00 = top of first "bubble", followed by the first price drop; today bitcon price is 5760usd;
computation: $10 / $31  x  $5760 = $1,858
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
as more people want to own bitcoin and therefore buy and keep it in their possession, there are then fewer bitcoins circulating in the marketplace. like a rare limited production gold coin, for example, with only 21 million of it in the world. if 20 million people each buy 1 coin and keep it their a safe, then only 1 million gold coins remain circulating in the marketplace and the value of these are bound to go up as long as more people want to acquire 1 of their own
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
since bitcoin is divisible up to 8 digits, scarcity does not have to be a big deal. 21M bitcoins x 100,000,000 = 2,100 trillion satoshis. there are more than enough satoshis for the world's population to each own around 250,000 satoshis (or around 0.0025 bitcoins per person)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the best website for the newcomers https://bitcoin.org/en/ everything that you want to explain from what bitcoin is and on how they are going to choose their wallets. But still there are a lot of things that a newcomer must learn but don't just spoonfeed them. In the latter part of their journey, they will know the other things that they must know. There are also a lot of videos on youtube, where you can search like bitcoin for beginners.

Maybe I think the forum page deals to give many answers already or should ask an experienced person who has been there for a long time in BTC
Also we should let them learn on their own
And for those who have least interest in it and just want to do time pass learning it I hate that type of people

It is really hard to explain to people who don't have any idea what bitcoin is. My takes a lot of time to explain me from the beginning ang how it works. For me I think the best way to start is aak then if they want to have an extra income  woth investing, the start to explain then how to begin and how it will work. It is better if you can explain them personally , in my experience it waa through chatting, it's hard but iam into technology so it a bit easier for me to so what my cousin ask me to do or t o follow his intructions to me. Just be patience they will learn.

if total new comer, we have to explain the easiest thing about bitcoin, example what is bitcoin used for? then the next level.

First, we have to identify who among them are intersted. It is hard to explain to someone who is not even aware about this. And if they are, explain a few introduction and tell them to read, study and do some research for their own growth.

I think the best way is to not explaining it to them directly instead, let them watch video with you at his/her side. In that way, it will be explained properly. Don't explain it if you don't have enough knowledge about bitcoin and know it if they are really interested in learning bitcoin. But if you want to explain it by yourself, I think just share what you only know and let the 2 of you learn together.

I think we shouldn't explain for newcomer about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency directly cause maybe it'll make them hard to understand. For example some of my friends are exploring about Bitcoin they ask me a lot of I only gave them some topics or articles with a lot of informations about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency then if they have any problem and still missunderstood in anything I'll help them to solve it. I think it's a better way to let newcomer understand about cryptocurrency :D

There are many things to explain to a newcomer on bitcoin. He or she might ask you where you are getting the extra income and you can tell them that you are getting it via the internet and then the topic of bitcoin or cryptocurrency will be opened. Bitcoin is a type of cryptocurrency and it is one of the largest value that cryptocurrency can have. Bitcoin is also still developing so the price he or she is seeing is not final. It may rise again significantly, this is why it is good to invest in bitcoin.

The best way to explain crypto to a newcomer is by explaining the role us money first then explain how Bitcoin is a network AND a currency, and Bitcoin was just the first app on this network that allows for trustless value transfer.

I teach them what to do and then let them discover what really is bitcoin. There are some people whom you teach and after learning everything and earning, it seems like they dont even know you. Snobbers. That's why I suggest for you not to spoonfeed every information you know. And let them surf and research for the things they wanted to know.

I explain Bitcoin or crypto to complete newcomer by just sharing my experiences and testimonies in using bitcoin. With just hearing my experinces and testimonies people who heard it are being encouraged to also used and to also pursue bitcoin. With that I am able to encourage  and explain Bitcoin or crypto to complete newcomer.

I explain Bitcoin or crypto to complete newcomer by just sharing my experiences and testimonies regarding bitcoin to explain Bitcoin or crypto to complete newcomer. With just sharing my experiences and testimonies they  are able to be encouraged in using and pursuing bitcoin also. It will help them so much.

We are in the same boat, dude. Almost everyone around me is naive to what Bitcoin or cryptocurrency is. In explaining to these people I always use the Cowries analogy or example to enlighten them that like cowries in the past as money, Bitcoin is the modern money from the Internet. That explanation sinks easily for most of them.

There are more and more videos and places offering training.

If the person is not prepared to take the time and watch them - dont waste your time. Let them loose out on this opportunity in my opinion.

Many people still don't know what bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are all about. Same goes with me, I have shared something to some of my friends and family and I admot I have a hard time explaining to them. But I have this thought that if you share bitcoin with someone who is really in need of money, he/she will be willing to learn how it works. In that way you can easily teach it to him then eventually he can discover things by himself while doing something productive.

You can show them all the videos and wikis possible but the only way I think is to give them a small amount to play around with and that will get them hooked.

Yes, I agree with you, the best way is that give them a little money to help them trade or invest in Bitcoin or Altcoins. Profit and loss can help them understand clearly.  :D

People's knowledge on bitcoin/cryptocurrency will always depend on how they understand the whole concept. As for me, I tell them about how I understand it and then refer them to a link that will back-up my explanation and for them to also explore and get to know the concept easier. For Ethereum, I will always suggest for them to check the website itself which is www.propthereum.io

All answers to possible questions is there and it has a very detailed whitepaper that can explain what it is.

To explain everything in Bitcoin first i will explaint to newcomer that theres something in this era has been made and that is Cryptocurrencies or Digital Currency and i will tell him and explain about Cryptocurrency how it has its value and what kind of cryptocurrency do we have as of this moment. Like Bitcoins of course i will explain it to him how bitcoin starts and how can he/she work for it and how can it change it his/her life if he will put a lot of more focus on this and set his heart and mind and i will tell him/her how can change his/her life because of bitcoins

I just tell to them to visit this forum or some websites like CoinDesk, CoinTelegraph etc as reference.
And some local bitcoin news portal.

A newcomer cant understand easily about cryptocurrency, telling them about this forum and other websites can help. Also, the best is let them watch videos and explain to them about online digital currency whereas can use anytime and anywhere with internet connection. These would enlighten the newbie about digital currency.

I'm a visual kind of person so usually when I explain about Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies, I either open up youtube or Google or even this forum to help them.understand more because it is difficult to explain a digital curremcy to someone who knows nothing about cryptocurrencies.

That's better because with that you needn't have to be an expert or have an expertise knowledge of bitcioin becfore you will be able to teach them. The videos of people with some bitcoin knowledge will help make your work easier.

 If I would be given an opportunity to discuss what bitcoin is all about to a newcomer, I will taken it step by step. First, I will discuss to them the basic info's of bitcoin like when it was started, why and how it started, everything. Then, when a newcomer absorbs these basic info's, he or she might get interested more about bitcoin. I will discuss about how it will be used, how they will earn and make profit out of it.

One of the best articles for beginners, I consider, the article Adam Ludwin "A Letter to Jamie Dimon And anyone else still struggling to understand cryptocurrencies"
(https://blog.chain.com/a-letter-to-jamie-dimon-de89d417cb80). In it causes and effect relationships in the world of cryptocurrencies and ICO are described in simple language. Very much I recommend

Here is new good site http://crypviz.io/, where each coin is supported by the knowledge database. I think this is quite cool for newcomers because of lack of information.

probably by showing to them the particular bitcoin article will makes them understand what is bitcoin and how it works but just makes all of it simple because newcomer doesn't really like the article with plenty of pages and also because currently bitcoin so expensive then we can tell to them that bitcoin is equal to money but the difference is bitcoin doesn't have physical shape

Rather than this way of introducing bitcoin to a complete newcomer, it's good to start with the wallet. Showing the value in a wallet equaling some amount in usd will make the user understand bitcoin. Now you can introduce that you can use it online and this doesn't have a physical form similar to the paper money we use in our daily lives. Furthermore upon his interest its good to show him the coinmarketcap for better understanding.

I tell them first before they start using cryptocurrency they should be have knowledge about it, also they should be understand the world of bitcoin or crypto in how it works and use in proper way. And i will tell them to be careful when they try to join in some project because it might be scam pr fraud. Then tell them to read and research about the bitcoin or crypto before they used it.

Individual has their own way of drawing attention of other, to explain bitcoin and other currencies to a newbie. I usually start by drawing their attention about having my money increasing without working for it. From there I will start asking if the person have heard of bitcoin, just to enable me understand if the person have a slight understanding of bitcoin, might give you a slight understanding of what cryptocurrencies are. I would explain bitcoin and the fact that it has so much value. Then I will like the person to read some materials about bitcoin.

Explain it in terms of an investment. It's like an intangible asset that Appreciates in value but since it's market share is quite less it's value keeps fluctuating. It's interest rate is high compared tto other investments but the risk is high as well.

Explain it in a way you can get their interest. It is enough to tell them what is bitcoin and how you earn. The rest is up to them. If they want to earn extra cash they should work it for themselves :)

Nothing to do different i think it is pretty simple. you have to tell them about the gain from it that you got from it and just tell them that the benefit of it and speculation of price of it. i think this will make it interested for them and and a good oppertunity for them to make profit from it. moreover you can also involve them into some articles of them and make them to take interest in it.

I'm new to bitcoin but I still have a little bit of knowledge about it. And I think that's the only way for them to understand about bitcoin is to show them our earnings in bitcoin in that way we can convince them to enter the world of bitcoin

I was explained for quite a while. Everything is learned in practice. When you make transactions, that study is faster

give them an example of how it works, do not tell them to watch videos or even read websites / blogs or the like

The best thing to do is give him/her examples what are the advantages of bitcoins if your holding it and how much you will gonna earn if you every have this coins then the last thing to do is teach him/her how to earn this coins.

Telling them our experience how we earned and learned are an example to encourage them to deeply known by crytocurrency.I'll teach them how to earn in bitcoin like joining in signature campaign to let them read in forum to understand them the meaning of crypto.By posting on forum and reading some topics here we cannot hard to explain to them because they must read it and learn.

Just tell them that bitcoin and other crypto currency has a value that can be used in trades and purchases. Dont forget to tell them the pros and cons like, crypto currencies are risky that the price could go down or up anytime.

let them do the research. just tell them the basics. cheers!

On the Internet there are a lot of videos, lectures and articles. I studied them to understand  what Bitcoin is. You can also find a lot of information on this forum. And ask for advice here if you need it. I usually tell people who are interested in Bitcoin about this forum.

It's not easy for anyone to collaborate with a complete noob on the topic of Bitcoins, but there are better ways to attract them towards the subject by asking them to invest first and feel the difference between Bitcoins and fiat. Once the excitement arises, just start telling them that an experiment was conducted to check if some digital tokens may be sent to the other party anonymously or not, and people liked it, valued it and that's what is Bitcoin is all about - perfectness. After that, grab their attention with some ^new^ words for them such as blockchain, altcoins, ICOs, etc. and make them understand everything step by step.

This is the conventional thing that everyone think that it maybe not working like he is told but simply show him the profit and introduce successful person in crypto to the person whom you are telling about it and when he will hear about the money coming out of bitcoin his mind will automatically give him a signal to take chance and invest and once he will invest and after that he will be one of people who will convince others.
