Has anyone actually tried to explain Bitcoin to a 5 y o?

So this post is making the rounds this week: "Explain Bitcoin To Me Like I'm 5" -- https://medium.com/p/73b4257ac833

It's a fun read, but I'm wondering if any parents out there have 1. actually tried using it to explain Bitcoin to a child, and 2. otherwise tried explaining Bitcoin to a young person. What works? What does not work?

lol Wouldn't even want to try. I doubt a 5-year old could even comprehend the concept of money, let alone cryptos.

I dont think 5 years old can understand why it is interesting to have decentralized money
5 years old dont understand just the value of money eighter

I know my 5 year old doesn't even fully understand the value of real money.  would be tough trying to explain virtual money to him.

no, but I tried explaining to my 90yo grandmother, does that count?  I'll bet it was more challenging!
