I love the looks i get when i try to explain crypto to a non tech person! How do you guys deal with situations like these?

It depends how you try to explain to them how cryptocurrencies work, if you begin to use all type of technical terminology they are not going to understand you at all, what you need to do is to give examples of things that work in the real world in a similar to the way cryptocurrencies work, obviously that is not easy but you could create an example for them so they can understand how cryptocurrencies work.

You try to explain from their perspective..  If you really want them to get it

I am fed up explaining, they all say it's a pyramid and have no clue what they talk about, but at the same time trying to be very clever, as they truly believe what TV news, have told them (in my country we have news as a warning and to stay out of this highly volatile market). Of course it is dangerous and risky investments, but everyone whom I know got everything all wrong and laughing at me, saying I am going to lose everything one day! I just don't bother anymore and gave up on them explaining, the only way to proof them, that they were wrong is to get rich and one day I certainly believe in my strength of my brain! So my advise, don't waste your time on explaining to them

Yes many people don't know about cryptocurrency, some of my friends don't believe of it they think that it's a scam that's why i tried to not complicated the description of crypto world and just say that it's an electronic money that's all.

The looks of being doubt,and uncertain is the face that we had when we heard cryptocurrencies at first,i aint going to explain to anyone because if these people really wants to learn they will find their way to learn something,google is free which is why i am sure that these people are going to get what they want or knew something about cryptocurrencies if they wanted to.

Once upon a time, I used to teach people about crypto to the person who is arguably still haven't mastered the technology too. and either sometime later he concluded that Crypto is about gambling. whether he read the news what about crypto I didn't know its obviously very difficult to explain it to people who are less understanding.

You don't need to be tech person to be the part of cryptoworld. In the cryptocurrency take part people of all specialties: financiers, IT specialists, designers, advertisers, etc. To understand the principles of crypto currency, you don't need to be a computer genius. If a person wants to learn more about the crypto, he can be explained in simple language

[mautenisis]

I am going to give him sometime to think,if he is really going to be interested to the cryptocurrencies,he will find his way to learn the things without the help of others,sounds like a scam as usual these are the normal response of these new people hearing new things like cryptocurrencies which is why i am not going to push people to learn things.

In particular i have this difficulty with older people who have a retirement and do not know where to invest, i by the way explain the possibilities of gain and planning, but somehow there is a barrier acquired from life that new things are bad and fail and people from the previdencia can invest in crypto or maybe it is a futuristic idea. This theme i think about all the time.

I used to try to explain the differences with the traditional bank system. That in a cryptocurtency that records the transaction and becomes a witness of the transaction is not a bank but everyone can do it.

I don't even bother trying to explain cryptocurrencies to anyone.  I like to maintain a low profile and hardly ever talk about being involved with cryptocurrencies in the real world. 

[CHENIEN]

Many people don't really believe on cryptocurrency, and even you explain well to them or to other people but still they don't believe and not interested to learn. But there are also people willing to learn on cryptocurrency, but mostly out of ten persons only two among them are interested.

[alimarh]

For me it is always easy to explain cryptos to a non tech person because I will use something that he can easily relate to, to explain the crypto for the person, when you use an illustration that is related to the person, the person will understand it very clear and get interest

I'll explain it simply. That if the crypto community is one inhabitant of an apartment, then the conventional bank system is the treasurer of the apartment. If they want to use a blockchain system, then some people have to be volunteers to record transactions in one apartment (miner), with a gift of a piece of chocolate (crypto).

Once I tried to explain it to my brother I was wanting to teach him about crypto and after finishing all the explanation he did not even get 1% of it for a nontech person it is very hard in start to understand this crypto technology things.

[KuraJamban]

You need to make him understand what you're saying first. If they don't understand, everything you say to him is useless.
Try to teach him about what is crypto and how do we get it. Showing him the proof that you already earn money from this thing can also make him eager to learn.

[biskitop]

it will take a long time to teach him. initially we have to teach about technology first. then we start getting into the lesson about bitcoin.

[chocolaty]

You don't necessarily need to be technical when explaining cryptos to people. You can just discuss it simply. I am not a technical person as well because I haven't mastered analyzing graphs entirely just yet but I do understand crypto. People would understand crypto as an investment and I usually use gold or stocks as an example, only that in the crypto market, crypto currencies are people's asset and investments. They usually get it upon comparing it so no more further explaining to do unless they want to go deeper. If they are really interested on learning the technical side of it, they can learn it themselves.

[deadmousehat]

I've done it several times to my family members. I explained in an easily so that they understand what i'm working on but even though it has been described in such a way, still they don't understand LOL. and then I gave up

Explaining crypto to a person with no or little background in technology is a great challenge considering that crypto is linked with technology.  I experience this when I explained crypto to my mother (she do not even know how to use computer or android phones).  The first step I did, I  explained the concept of money and how people recognize it as a valuable medium of a transaction even the truth is it does not have intrinsic value and it is mere paper with a picture.  Then, I explained the process of banking where people exchange their money for just a mere digital number.  Afterward, I compare a bank to cryptocurrency while I compared trading tokens to forex.  I know she might not understand everything about cryptocurrency but at least she already has an idea about it and I am happy that she supports my engagement in cryptocurrency.
