I just make it easier to understand, you dont need to be a tech guy anyway to understand a cryptocurrency. Just told them that cryptocurrency is just like money, but its only only internet money,you can use it like regular money but you cant hold or see it. People must be understand that,except you want to explain about blockchain it self.

I used to try to do it, but unfortunately they think that you are trying to deceive them, in any case it seems to me that people should know about new technologies, but for now many still do not want this, they have many other problems that they are trying to solve, Well, we will have more time to prepare.

Cryptocurrency is easy to explain and understand. What hard to explain is the technology behind it. Blockchain technology or any other technology used by different currency, me myself is having a hard time understanding those.

This would be very hard on where you do explain things specially bitcoin into non-techy person specially on old people who arent awared on recent technologies nowadays.If you do tend to explain to someone which that kind of person then you would really need long patience for him to convince or to explain on what is crypto.Explain details throughly and in detail and you might able to convince them. |

Tried to explain crypto to many of my non technical friends but only a couple of them understood what I'm talking about. The rest of them were not able to understand anything except it is a money making scheme. Lol.

I like that people dont understand why crypto is worth looking into. I only know 2 other people in my group of friends that has invested in crypto. Even 10 years in it still feels all very new and i feel crypto has a long way to go before its socially accepted.

I usually have to use the analogy of people sitting in a class recording transactions,such that at any one point majority if not all have recorded the transactions this preventing double spending.That way people see how innovative cryptocurrencies are and the need to invest in such new technology.

many of them think its scam. especially in my country wherepeople lost huge amount of money to MMM ponzi scheme. when you tell them about crypto all they will be saying is that they are not interested that it is scam. no matter how you convince them but when you meet some techy person, they will understand this in fact i think 90% of tech person knows about crypto before i even want to tell them. all they need is proper guide on how to make profit from crypto and the risk also involved

Why it is so hard? You do not to know all about encryption. You can share small article about it for non tech person. It is enough. It is more difficult to tell about bounty, and why you can earn money with it. I join Welocal and I like it and want to tell about it for everyone.

Other than in explaining about digital currency a non virtual money which is used in many transactions online I think for me the most effective way is to set by example to our self, show them what we did about crypto world and what we got out of participating in this forum if possible show them our income or profit from cryptocurrency. |

I just ask them if they've ever tried sending money abroad. If they say yes I ask them what the experience was like. This invariably comes back negative. I they say imagine if you could send money abroad instantly with little to no fees and they agree this would be great and thats when I hit them with this article https://globalcoinreport.com/a-99-million-transaction-with-litecoin-ltc-and-the-lightest-fee/ |

First you have to explain how is the crypro controlled and what is the difference between crypto and centralised currency. Then you explain block-chain and how it works. And in the end you explain why is better then the existing model.

To a non tech person, you are most likely going to waste your time analysing,as there is no way to discribe th existence of what he cannot see physically and also handle with his hand,he migth just tag you as an internet scammers.

Depends on how to explain. Anything can be explained in simple words for a person to understand the main idea and those things that matter. It is going to be not as easy as ABC but it is possible

If I was able to teach my grandmom what is crypto anyone can do it haha. It really depends on people who are talking with. If he/she is interested in crypto it will take day-week but this person will eventually learn something. If he/she is not interested no mattet how smart this person is, you are simply just waisting your time.

It might be a little tricky to acheive this As many are of the misconception that BTC is just as technical AS IT IS TO TRADE BTC, understanding it is also trouble, some will seem supriced while others will not buy into the ideology, The best way to define BTC for such people is then sating that is a none tounjible currency, like money in the bank with an equal importance to fiat

Crypto currency is an easy thing to teach and understand. It just like the normal or physical currency the way we live, chsnges is cryptp is online transsction you can buy you can sell. But if we tewch and telll tbis to others they dont want to listen and saying bitcoin is scam base on what they saw at television. Poor knowledge and judgement

A hard thing to do indeed! LoL You must not go through the technical stuff. You should mostly talk about the value and future of cryptocurrency, and how useless and stupid it has been to consider cryptocurrencies scam or bubble or... How many people lost their best opportunities because they thought bitcoin ain't backed by gold? How much progress crypto has already made... And stuff like that.  |
