Tell that person to read the following book;

The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous.

It's a great book to be able to understand the logic behind Bitcoin. It also teaches about the history of money, ancient medium of exchanges and financial stuff.

Overall a great book to begin with.

Blockchain is like a database where all the details of transactions were stored but we can't simply explain blockchain in 10 words so we need to explain them what it is to get clear odea about crypto currencies then only people can identify this is not a ponzi scheme.

You asked for a 10 words explanation and yet you exceeded it. Someone who's willing to learn wont be asking for such brief explanation. The relationship of blockchain is cryptocurrencies is simple, it's the engine that runs the car. Projects run on the blockchain and they emit tokens to that serve as fuel to run the engine.

[AlexaSonda]

Sometimes our way of thinking or mindset is always different and this makes it difficult for us to interpret blockchain and crypto to others. I prefer to let it look for its meaning in google and if they are confused then I will help explain it.
