It's online money without a bank. The people using bitcoin sell and buy it, and that's how it keeps alive. That's how i explained it to my friends, and they got hold of the idea pretty quick.
I also said to my friends that bitcoin is such as e-money. We get it online and we can exchange it into fiat money so we can spend it, but they're still confused

If they're still confused, then it's impossible. I tried to do that too in a cashier when the person before me tried to payed with a credit card. It took 20 minutes and about 2 calls to the bank to have the transaction processed and during that time it piqued his interest bu can't understand it. They just don't get how crypto works.

I don't think it's right to explain bitcoin mining to people who are not tech-literate. It's like explaining how 'magical money' grows in your computer then you harvest it after a week or a month and poof you get cash out of thin air.

It will take great efforts to explain tech-illiterate people as they don't want to learn something new, and majority of people don't have faith in new technology so it would be a great challenge to explain them.

Simple way is to teach them that it is also like any other currency, the currency which will be used widely in future. If they know about them before, it will be better for them when bitcoins will be the main currency everywhere.
If possible ask them to google Bitcoin and get more information on it and wallets etc.

recently I came across a friend who doesn't even know how to create a folder and organize files on a PC, and she just called me asking about bitcoin. I was half way in shock. People with no knowledge of PC and internet also are interested to know about bitcoins and its difficult to explain them. But I try my level best to bring them into bitcoin ecosystem.

explain bitcoin,tell to them that bitcoins is crypto currency,currency that have no physical shape,simply "money from internet"
explain to them that mining is like mining gold on the ground,but its mining bitcoin from computer,algorithm solving.

someone who is not literate or lay on the technology will be very difficult to explain about bitcoin, they do not necessarily know about the internet. so I do not advise to invite it to join with bitcoin, it is better to find someone who already know about the Internet, it will be easier

and mostly they are the younger generation, it is very easy to explain when they have atleast an idea on basics about computer and internet, elderly people seems like they are not interested anymore in any new technology,
