Visualize Bitcoin - new homepage how BTC works

[cygan]

the following website turns the Bitcoin network into an interactive machine and shows how each component of the system works together.
it provides a complete visual explanation of how our 'digital gold' works
For example, you can click on specific components (such as mining) to get a visual and verbal explanation of them

Wow, that's great!
I thought it might just be something static infographic.
But this site has created something completely awesome with live 3D machine.

Wallet, mempool, mining, difficulty, supply, block hash, blockchain, nodes, all these component are presented here in very nice way.
What I like best is, instead of showing Bitcoin as centralized server, they presented nodes, mempool, mining and blockchain as an interconnected system.
If you want to teach someone new to Bitcoin, you should start with this kind of visual tool. Then they will understand everything at a glance if you explain them a little.

just awesome!

This is cool. It gives a brief and clear explanation of everything. I like how the explanation is done in a way that beginners can easily understand. I think if you can understand all the things listed there from "the whole machine to the network", you would have understood all that is needed to understand Bitcoin. Every other technical knowledge can be picked up as you continue in Bitcoin.
Another reason I like it is that every point is explained in such a thought-provoking manner that it will lead you to research deeper on the subject and, by doing so, learn even more.

I like this idea. Especially if you are going to explain Bitcoin to someone then they will learn much better if they see it visually like this. Instead of just reading 20 page of technical text. 

However, it would not be right to call it complete explanation. No visualizer can fully highlight important layer like Bitcoin's incentive structure, game theory, social consensus ,,, etc these have to be explained manually.

This system-level understanding is probably the most valuable for newbies. If I get chance I will also use it when explaining Bitcoin to newbies. Thanks for sharing this.

I know that disabling voice/sound will speed up the explanation text, but I wonder if people can just see the full explanation directly? If it were me I'd like to see them all, even if I decided to hear what the voice says.

I'd love to see a bigger text option too. As I get older it's getting harder to read small texts. I think it's a nice addition since most users probably won't dabble with CSS to increase them manually.

While the visual looks cool, it's not complete. For example, there's no section for "block" or "transaction" on 12 facts list. If i were to use visualization to help someone understand Bitcoin, IMO "The Bitcoin Post Office" you shared in past is better option.

Actually you can find a lot of Bitcoin visualizations including this one as Jameson Lopp has compiled it here. Bitcoin Visualizations.

That looks cool because people as human are usually (but not all) more interested in things that are visualized and interactive. This site is a sort of visualized site which is very helpful for people who want to learn about Bitcoin, even learn more about Bitcoin.

Jameson Lopp has a simple visualized explanation about Bitcoin for beginners too.

Thank you @cygan for this post, the tool is very helpful for learning bitcoin as it brings a new perspective to bitcoin. The 3D visualization truly makes things more interesting.

You have shared a comprehensive resources here for which I appreciate. This makes bitcoin learning real and interactive. I will find time to consume the resources there for better understanding of the different components of bitcoin.

Although not fully understandable, the site is interesting and it is able to give enough ideas, the site seems to work great to tell or explain to someone about Bitcoin. I have seen many sites before but I have not seen this one that is very realistic.
When I clicked on Chat with Satoshi, at first I thought it was the real Satoshi talking. But then I realized that it is actually a fictional form.

The idea is very good, visualizing Bitcoin but I don't wanna lie, I don't like the way it's done even though I really appreciate the work of the person who put into this project. The interface is not user friendly and it doesn't attract me personally, it doesn't motivate me to stay on the website.
When it comes to visualization, Apple and Samsung are clear winners for me. I enjoy the every second I spend there exploring their smartphones because the visualization is very interactive and the experience is as good as well for the user. If something similar was done for Bitcoin, that would be amazing.
