What do you say when asked this question from a friend who has only heard its name mentioned a few times in the news and has no clue. I find myself lately taking the easy way out and suggesting google. I would prefer to give a clearer answer, but usually saying something leads to more questions and more confusion.
If someone could point me to a twitter type answer that would inform and twig their curiosity, i think it would be a better outcome.

I also tell them to google it if they want more information. Honestly it's fucking annoying when people that are clueless start making all these questions. It's going to be easy for them to just start doing some research. I tell them that it's a decentralized currency but it's better used as a store of value rather than a currency because it's honestly pretty stupid to spend your BTC on groceries when you know it's going to go up, similarly to how it's stupid to buy groceries with gold.

I absolutely agree with you. Very much annoying questions about bitcoin from people who have not previously heard about this type of currency. And annoying questions of people who know about bitcoin, but for some reason are afraid to invest in it. But these people still get bored with questions ...
I tell them this: "Google to help"

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

 Bitcoin is a digital decentralized  cryptocurrency ,started at the year 2008 by an unknown person or company named as Satoshi Nakamoto.Anyhow It is globally accepted and the transaction is done easily and cheaply without a middleman interference.Transactions are done with person to person from wallet to wallet.In the beginning the price was too low and by last year the price shooted up like rocket speed.

I think, there is no simple answer to answer the question of those who first heard of bitcoin.
it will always be a long explanation. it will always be confusing and complicated to find the right explanation to answer their questions.

and.. me too always take a shortcut . that is, directing them to google.

Bitcoin is a currency which the value can be either increasing or decreasing. Its value depends on the availability of the bitcoin in the market. If there are a lot of bitcoin available the demand is low decreases the value but if bitcoin is running out the demand is high increasing the value.

Conversation:

Someone who knows nothing about BTC:What is bitcoin?

Me: Bitcoin is a digital asset designed by its inventor, Satoshi Nakamoto, to work as a currency. It is commonly referred to with terms like digital currency, digital cash, virtual currency, electronic currency, or cryptocurrency and bitcoin is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network that is powered by its users with no central authority or middlemen.

Someone: Hmmm. Am i going to be rich or not?

Me: Byeeee...

Bitcoin’s crazy great jump in price over 2017 has taken the world’s most popular cryptocurrency from a curiosity into a begrudgingly valued asset by governments. I will invest.

Yes indeed I like that too often, I think it's a natural thing if a friend or community asked like that, Meraka also definitely want to go forward and want to change to be better than before, And this bitcoin one of which will make the future we are bright ..
If I prefer to explain to friends or community by sitting together while explaining and immediately practice it, because in this way! in my opinion will be easier to understand by friends and community. And in addition to telling my friends to read articles or videos about this digital currency.
