For me the best way is to show them a video about bitcoin and choose the best video that really describes and explains about bitcoin precisely because on this method they could easily understand compared on explaining it to them by yourself.Video would really help a lot regarding on this matter and its good to hear that your friends decide to engage on bitcoin because they saw regarding its uses.

Yup agree video would be nice choice learn about bitcoin. Especially bitcoin documentary videos the best one and  then coindesk and reddit would be so helpful learn more about bitcoin.

I have learned a lesson about 'not going too much into detail' because it confuses people and the ongoing discussion was too complicated ... just describe the basic idea ( decentralized ) and tell them it's evolution ... compare it to emails vs regular mail (20 years ago only few were using email and watch it now ).

The best way I've personally found to get people involved is to let them have a few cents to test moving around on the blockchain.

when i was introduce to BTC way back 2014, i was showed first how to earn BTC freely with a small effort and easy task. that is thru faucet, until now i introduce people thru BTC by showing them earning opportunity thru faucets, its small amount but they can easily get hold some coins to know how it works,

The success of an explanation depends on the arguments you provide when questions are asked afterwards.
    
Easy
Person to Person: Send Bitcoin from your computer, tablet, smart phone or other device, to anyone, anywhere in the world, day and night.
   
Secure
Strong cryptography: Bitcoin verifies transactions with the same state-of-the-art encryption that is used in banking, military and government applications.
   
Open
Fully decentralized: Bitcoin is open-source. Nobody owns it; the most popular client is maintained by a community of open-source developers.
   
Fair
Minimal Fees: Using the Bitcoin network is free, except for a voluntary fee you can use to speed up transaction processing.

When I tell to friends what bitcoin is I always say briefly, it's better to show some videos from youtube or coindesk.

Smb has already posted for example this video.
It's good

I just say in the simple way bitcoin is like as traditional currency(usd, euro,,). we can only see it but not to take it in our hands.
bitcoin is very easy and safer than traditional currency. that's it.

to me i think it will be more good if you give him some live examples from your daily life. for example if you know about a person in your society and he is making good money from bitcoin or he received good services from bitcoin then you can mention him his success because of bitcoin.

It is difficult and depends on whom you're trying to explain. You should each time to take into account the age, educational level and willingness to learn. The most difficult "students" are people have passed middle-age with low educational level but they don't wish to devote for learning more than the minimum time. These people will be forced to learn only if all the others around them are using bitcoins

However you could able to use it like fiat until government make bitcoin as the centralized money. Bitcoin is upgraded version of money and i think upcoming generation will use Bitcoin only. Hopefully USA might be first country to have bitcoin as their national currency.

It is not just an one hour nor one day process. You must dedicate some long hours for some course of days to make new people to understand and to get attracted toward bitcoin ecosystem.

From my experience, like how I was introduced into bitcoins may help you to find a way : I was first introduced into bitcoin faucets from that I started using it similar to PTC sites. Then I learned about bitcoin wallets. Yes it is a slow progress and we need to follow them regularly for a good progress.

You need to keep it simple, when I first started reading about bitcoin, all I saw was some numbers, letters like SHA, ASIC, NODES, MINING,etc... and I've had no idea what is that... so you might try avoinding all those fancy terms and just keep it simple as you can and focus on ways of making btc, transactions, how easy it is to keep them and also the price of bitcoin, that caught my eye for the first time.
