Why should someone (not knowledgeable about bitcoin) should start spending hours and hours to learn about bitcoin's concept. Why should that someone start right now?
Why? Because of the enormous opportunity cost of not learning about it. If you're wise enough to be here asking this question, you're wise enough to know why you need to know.

Here, I'll make it easy for you:

Bitcoins are kept in a digital wallet which you can keep in your computer, or on a website online, which will manage and secure your wallet for you. You can have as many wallets and bitcoin addresses (where you receive money from others) as you like.

What’s more, you can use Bitcoin software on top of Tor to prevent anyone from tracking your IP address – total anonymity guaranteed!

Why should someone (not knowledgeable about bitcoin) should start spending hours and hours to learn about bitcoin's concept. Why should that someone start right now?

How about this?  a couple minutes

Bitcoin Basic Concepts
•Bitcoin is a shared ledger system and the current state of the ledger is determined by a decentralized consensus.
•Bitcoin "mining" is the process of adding transactions to the ledger and is done by solving math problems that take substantial computational power.
•The "consensus" is achieved by users and "miners" deciding to run compatible versions of the software and enforcing the consensus rules.
•Users can run "nodes" using peer-2-peer connections that shares the ledger.
•Nodes enforce the rules by only broadcasting transactions and sections of the ledger that fit within the consensus rules.
•A user can verify the shared ledger took a huge amount of computational power to create as a way of trusting it is real.
•Miners get transaction fees and "block rewards" as an incentive to use their computer power.
•The "rewards" are a way to initially distribute the currency and are cut in half about every 4 years.
•Bitcoin addresses are secure because the numbers are so large that all the computers in the world cannot come close to cracking it.


It will take more than 2 minutes sir. Because then the person would ask:

What is a ledger system? What is a decentralized consensus? What is a substantial computational power? etc etc

I think you should re word into the most understandable and the most basic english.

Bitcoin is genius but lacks mainstream appeal. Maybe standards and regulations will encourage more people to start using it.

Yup I'd have to agree, but given its volatility and DEcentralization, it probably turns many folks off.  Esp with the media ALWAYS showing bad news vs. good news about it...typical BS.  Hopefully in due time it'll come around.  Granted how much manipulation is probable....it's something to watch for , for noobs before they get in.

He will have to do it anyway. Bitcoin is going to be everywhere in a few years.
So might as well spend that time now.  Tongue

Why not ? What else can you do with your money ? Put it in a bank and get 2.25% interest per year which is lower than inflation, and in 5 years the bank goes bust? Government bonds? No, siree.

Not exactly a sound argument. We've been getting negative interest with bitcoin at the moment as it has lost over half it's value within a year, so people who bought in higher than it is now have currently lost money.
