Bitcoin is a digital global payment system

Bitcoin is a digital global payment system

I think that the only thing I would add is that it's virtual and somehow try to explain the blockchain, not quite sure how to do that for a 7 year old. I guess explaining that all transactions are logged and visible. 'If mummy gives daddy 1 bitcoin then it's visible and anyone can see that mummy did that'

virtual money

Bitcoin is money. Which are created by people and for people.

This is money that bakirs and the government cannot take away from you.

It is reliability and confidence in the future

Explaining to an ADULT is hard. Imagine how hard it is to explain it to a child.

I would do it this way: Bitcoin is the newest method of payment that is virtual and digital, but is way more honest and sincere than the palpable one.

For a kid bitcoin is nothing because at this age kids never able to know that what is it as currency they don't know the importance of money the usage of money and they are free of all this and when they become at the age of 15 years then they can use money so they know the importance at that time so it is very common that bitcoin is difficult for aged people now so how kids can understand it.

bitcoin is pocket money created by machines owned by people not by governments.
imagine the machines like complicated calculators that people can own in their homes

its done by putting a list of peoples pocket money spending together into a list, like writing down math stuff in a maths notepad. and then doing some complex maths based on stuff of that page of the notepad

each new notepad page has a link to the previous page, simply like "continiung from previous page" but using the complicated maths result to prove its continuing from the last page.
that way all pages of a math notepad can be proved to link together to stop anyone from just cheating and slipping a new page in the middle of a notepad so that teachers can easily spot who done their homework and who didnt


the people that own the complex calculators that do the complex math get paid new pocketmoney if the complex math is correct. but thy can only spend it after 100 new pages of maths homework is done and correct after the page that people want to spend their rewards from.
because the maths teachers around the world that check the answers not only want to check the answers are right. but also want to see lots of homework added on afterwards that its impossible to change an earlier answer because so many pages have been added to a math notepad

A 7 years old kid knows what money is so they'll understand when you tell them that Bitcoin is a type of money that cannot be felt nor touched (virtual currency).

virtual money

This is wrong because virtual is associated with unreal. Bitcoin is real money because if you can pay with something it's very real.
We could say that fiat money on a bank account is also virtual money because the bank doesn't physically have it. It only has numbers on a server.

bitcoin is money which made investors rich in 5 years and bought crypto to world

[rickyNmorty]

virtual money

Yet can be functional as what the fiat currency can. It just that it is regulated that is why it is not used in different companies or stores. It is the USD of the virtual world. Can perform a lot of things, with much more good features. More easy transactions can be done through it.

Usually kids would learn fast unless they have almost no curiosity and this very important of learning.   I know one of my cousin who knows how to play Go and Chess at the age of 9.

Bitcoin is a money for new generation.

"Money you can use on a phone" Even little kids are always on mobile devices now lol.

Bitcoin is the Internet of Money. Imagine taking paper money and turning it into numbers on a computer and then you have digital money. There are some important differences, because the paper money is controlled and created by governments, where digital money <Crypto currencies> is created by software.

The software is installed on 1000s of computers and devices all over the world and this software store the information of who owns what coins and it also generates new coins in a process called mining.

Bitcoin is a digital money,
Everytime people ask me about bitcoin I would just tell them that to cut it short and no more debate.

A simple way to show everyone by introducing it to Bitcoin. After that, teach them to use bitcoin, so they also have to know the exchange to real currency, and start them to do jobs like investments or through campaigns.

Bitcoin is a economic renaissance that is wrapped in a technological bubble, which itself is wrapped in a get rich quick scheme.

Bitcoin is money that you can use globally thru internet with lower fees and faster transactions.

It can also be your investment while you are young to keep thru different bitcoin wallets.
