[CONTEST] Summarize Bitcoin In 100 Words Or Less

This is a follow up contest to last week's Create A New Logo For Backed contest (all BTC rewards from that contest have now been paid out).

The original post can be found here:

https://www.backed.io/posts/post/114

Here are the details of the contest reposted below for convenience:

Over the past several weeks we have had some great contests here on Backed.io, including last week's contest Create A New Logo For Backed. This week we're going with a seemingly simple, yet at times difficult exercise. We want you to summarize Bitcoin in 100 words or less.

Bitcoin In 100 Words Or Less Contest Details

Objective

The winning entry of the main contest will be the one that best explains Bitcoin to newcomers in 100 words or less.

The winning entry of the side contest will be the one that best explains Bitcoin from a technical perspective in 100 words or less.

Bounty (Main Contest)

Runner Up: 0.05 BTC

Grand Prize: 0.10 BTC

Bounty (Side Contest)

Prize: 0.05 BTC

Suspense Date
Sunday, February 28th, 12 Noon PST

Explanation
Explaining Bitcoin can be a bit of an involved process. It is easy to get lost in the details and quickly lose the attention of your audience. While this contest may seem easy, I think you'll quickly find that describing Bitcoin in 100 words or less is no simple task.

Create a post on Backed.io with your explanation of bitcoin in 100 words or less. We'll then take into account the feedback of other backers and users on other sites to choose a winner.

Eligibility
You need to create a post on Backed.io in the contests category with your entry. Entries will need to be original, so entries from other sites like AbridgeMe.com will not be accepted (though feel free to check the entries there for ideas).

Rules
You can submit only one entry per account, but you can include summaries for both the main contest and the side contest.

Note: Please tag your post with [BTC100] and post to the contests category.

Judging
As in past weeks we'll be reading the responses from readers, taking into account number of times people were Backed here, and reading responses from other social sites and forums. We'll weigh that with the judgement of those of us working on Backed to come up with a winner.

We consider feedback from our users on this site to be of considerable importance when determining contest results.

Good Luck!
Good luck to everybody! There have been great entries in all of our past contests, and I feel that this week's contest of describing bitcoin in 100 words or less will be no different.

I love this part:

Bitcoin is a totally awesome cryptocurrency introduced by...

The language around bitcoin always seems so serious and technical, lightening it up a bit and making it fun is a great idea!

I thought exactly the same thing, but unlike coursework this was actually quite fun. Good luck to you too by the way and to everyone that entered.
