I explained to my family that BTC is a currency, and my father said, "just like the dollar?" I just explain to them that it is an internet money without physical form and you can trade with it like stocks. My family is not really into technology because we are from the province where internet connection is poor and the people living there have simple life. I am living now in the city and has good internet connection that's why I can easily access the sites but it is hard to explain to my family in detail because they are not interested in it. They just told me that as long as it is not scam then it's a good way of earning money.

The good thing was that my family friends itself introduced to me about this btc which has helped my family to understand in a better way and it has become easy and convincing for them was less hectic. Else it would have being a tedious work and now I am started to invest some in this cypto currencies for the future in mind.

I like this video also, blockchain researcher Bettina Warburg explains in 5 different people a child, a teen, a college student, a grad student, and an expert. It can help explaining first what a blockchain is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYip_Vuv8J0&t=2sHope it helps.

I think it's impossible. A lot of things should be explained to have some basic understanding of it. Simply put I say that this is a decentralized currency that exists on the Internet. No one controls it, it has fixed amount, and it's issued by computers that solve difficult mathematical algorithms. That's the easiest definition I came up with. But it's very superficial

Defining BTC is definitely possible.I got into crypto early 2017 and got pretty stuck trying to understand it. After 6-8 weeks of research, I created Decryptionary.comDecryptionary is the simplest crypto resource. It explains what "bitcoin" is in approximately 100 words. It has visuals. It also has a dictionary with 200+ other entries. For the guys who want to learn how to buy their first BTC or altcoins, I have super simple and visual walkthroughs. For the guys who want to figure it out themselves, I have word lists by subject. It's a growing thing. But I think it will help others.

Tell them it's not like dollar, there's no owner, no company, and the network is made up of millions of people. The network is currently 300 times more powerful than the top 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world combined. Tell them that Bitcoin is not a stock, it's simply an alternative to a 100-year-old obsolete financial system. Tell them that Bitcoin is a logical evolution stage for a financial system. Tell them to do some research for themselves and watch youtube videos
Wow, This is a great anwer, helpful for many newbies in this forum not only to explain to their parents but also for us to understand in deep. Thanks for the valuable comment.

Please do not make the worst thing and tell them that it is only a coin which people invest in and you could earn, try to show them more like technology side and power of bitcoin.

I think that the best way is to explain Bitcoin to a new person is to demonstrate the process of a transaction.

Difficult to explain. But I will try to tell you my understanding and u can build on that. In the Pacific island of YAP they used large stones called RAI stones as currency. Now the stones were too heavy to transport so they were kept wherever they were, only the ownership changed and everybody in the village knew who the new owner was. Gold backed currency is like this. The gold is in Fort Knox , the ownership changes whenever you exchange money. But we do not have gold backed currency anymore we have fiat currency, which in reality has no backing except whatever we give it. Now all monetary exchanges are like contracts. I give u this , so u owe me so much. Bitcoin reduces this into a programme. In a sense it is more valuable than fiat currency ,since fiat currency is no longer reated by Central banks, it is created by every bank manager when he gives a loan. The bank manager is not giving a loan from the money that he has in his bank, he is giving it pretty much out of thin air. Hence why i feel Bit coin will rise in value, its foremost competition coming from other alt coins. May have confused you. All currency excahnges are contracts. I give u so much you give me this in return I give u work. this work is divided and converted to some form of easily transferrable thingie usually a currency. Bit coin is the internet equivalent That is all.
