What is bitcoin

[websoftwareengineer]

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.

Bitcoin is a digital currency that is widely used on the internet . Bitcoin is also good for long term investment because of the market's volatility so those who are taking a marketing course and also know how to trade safely will obviously get rich in just a few months of trading in the market.
