This question was asked by a very famous Author and the crypto community blew it

Sometimes just answering a simple question with a simple answer is all that is needed.

For example:

Q: What is Bitcoin?

A: Bitcoin is an open source censorship-resistant peer-to-peer immutable network. Think of it like digital gold that can also be used to buy things on the internet.

See, that's it!

Would have saved a lot of face palms online caused by some of Crypto's biggest heavyweights.

Sigh
