Often I'm asked to explain BTC to someone and occasionally I come up with something stellar that really nails it, but most times it's a rambling incoherent mess.
What I would like to see is a short and simple explanation of what BTC is that is suitable for someone non-technical to understand.

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

Bitcoin is an alternative digital currency that there's no government who controls it.
You can search in the forum pretty concise explanation on what bitcoin really is.
Sets of pretty simpler explanations are also in google by just doing it within few seconds.

There's so many ways to say it but you're right, it's often rambling because people focus on the tech, people focus on blockchain, but really, those are the things going on behind the scenes of Bitcoin. You should look at the whitepaper summary for an idea of why Bitcoin was so special but the simplest and biggest way Bitcoin is different to me is:
With Bitcoin, only you control and own your own money, not anybody else. Imagine paying something or sending someone money, and knowing that only the exact amount of money you decide to spend goes exactly to the person you wanted to pay. No one else outside can ever control it, or take it from you, or return it to you. And the receiver will always get your money, in the exact amount you send. This concept is still new today as it was 10 years ago.
People might ask, how is this different from me giving someone $1 or sending paypal money? Then you go into the details, of how banks or other parties are the ones who take your instruction to pay someone and settle the payment elsewhere.

You should explain bitcoin as it is. The simpler the better because not all people can understand such complicated things. Tell them that it is a currency running digitally and there is no entity that is controlling it. By the time that they ask questions, it means they are interested and that is the time you should be answering them one by one. |

Simply you can say that Bitcoin is a virtual or digital currency which is not owned by any government or country. It is totally decentralised and only the person who bought it, controls it, no one else.

Bitcoin is a digital currency based on decentralized platform. The technology on which this platform is based is blockchain. Basically Btc removes the need of third party for purpose of transactions. The transactions done through BTC are anonymous and secure and does not reveal any information about sender or receiver. Transactions done via BTC are free from third party interference such as banks, money transfer, financial institutions, etc.

Bitcoin is the next evolution in a currency.  We were riding on horses and then the first automobile was manufactured and this is the equivalent to us using paper money and now taking that paper money and replacing it with a much better, digital upgrade. Bitcoin is Cash version 2. The only difference is that Bitcoin is not being issued and controlled by a government. |

There are so much you can say about bitcoin but giving you all details will sure put your brain not taking it all, I really think it is good to just say what you really know, And don't claim anything that you truly not know, It is alright in the first day because you are teaching a newbie that are not really familiar with the technology of bitcoin, So I really think the right think to push forward towards it is to put the basic first, The wallet he can use, How he can earn bitcoin, And I think experience will really take over and he will know about it from time to time and by just guiding him through his way.

Bitcoin is a virtual currency that is not backed by any country's government regulations. It can be accepted if both parties are willing to accept and pay in means of Bitcoins.It deals with inflation, and monetary value, but is a digital coin and stored in a digital wallet itself, for the ease of its users, with special pins to access and use it.

bitcoin is a digital currency. No bills to print or coins to mint. It's decentralized -- there's no government, institution (like a bank) or other authority that controls it. Owners are anonymous; instead of using names, tax IDs, or social security numbers, bitcoin connects buyers and sellers through encryption keys. And it isn't issued from the top down like traditional currency; rather, bitcoin is "mined" by powerful computers connected to the internet.

Bitcoin is the suitable to invest all the time if you feel this is your time. Just close your eyes and invest your money completely on it buddy.
Explaining about the bitcoin to others will make you more stronger in holding since the price increasing in the market.
All the way to explain the bitcoin with the mastering bitcoin will be work better than anything.

To me, Bitcoin is the only asset that helps me to be rich. Although Bitcoin is volatile, I think this is a good opportunity to make a lot of profit in the short term. Some people call Bitcoin a bubble, but I never care about what they say about Bitcoin |

To explain in a short and easy way, Bitcoin is electronic gold. You buy gold at low prices then sell gold when gold prices rise. Bitcoin has some similarities to gold. Everyone is investing in Bitcoin with the expectation that Bitcoin prices will rise

If Bitcoin prices are stable like other currencies, then Bitcoin can not become a global player. That's why I chose to invest in Bitcoin |

Bitcoin is a representation of blockchain technology and Bitcoin was created for the purpose of paying for internet services. In addition to using for billing purposes, Bitcoin is currently being used as an asset, and everyone wants to buy Bitcoin and hold in their wallet. |

Bitcoin is a virtual currency that is not backed by any country's central bank or government. It can be traded for goods or services with vendors who accept Bitcoins as payment. Bitcoins are stored in a digital wallet, which also holds each address the user sends and receives Bitcoins from, as well as a private key known only to the user. The network is designed to generate approximately 21 million Bitcoins and the network is set up in a way to deal with inflation
