We have just added a little story on our website to help understand bitcoin for a larger audience. Here how it goes:

Quote
Imagine there are a bunch of safes, each with a number printed on them, lined up in a public place. The safes are very secure, bolted to the ground, and no known technology can cut them open.

Each safe has a slot in the top, allowing money to be dropped in. To get the money out, you need the key that opens the safe. The keys are also very secure, and nobody can pick the lock or open it without a perfect copy of the key.......... Read More

Share this link to all your friends and familly to help them understand how bitcoin works in a non technical approach!

Nice. I find it awfully hard to explain about Bitcoin and help friends get started. Therefore, I'll just be sending them this from now on.
