"Bitcoin: THE Elevator Speech"

I hope this can be a group project but I have had this on my mind for a long time. I would like ONE post that is dynamic, that summarizes Bitcoin as if the post was one elevator speech with ** number of floors. Using Pictures and Links. Bad idea? If not, send me things you think I should use.

Scene:Woman (yes, we need more women in Bitcoin) starts to walk on the elevator where there is a guy with a Bitcoin Shirt carrying a notebook. All the Elevator buttons are pushed. She asks, "Can you explain Bitcoin to me briefly, I am going to the top floor."

FIRST FLOOR:

Purpose? Yes, you have to know the purpose and why Bitcoin was created. There are 180 currencies around the world, each of which is terrible as a Store of Value or savings. The US dollar is the 'best of the worst' but look how much it has lost its store of value and therefore purchasing power.

SECOND FLOOR:

Why do currencies lose their power as money? Because our US government/others print money out of thin air. Your house isn't going up in value, just like the groceries, everything is rising because the dollar is devaluing because we are $36T in debt and struggling to pay the interest even. (This one sucks I know, need help.)

THIRD FLOOR:

Man: With Bitcoin, everything is Trending down in price because it is perfectly sound/Hard Money. Bitcoin not only stores value, it increases that stored value over time as it is considered a perfect Savings Technology.

FOURTH FLOOR:

What is Bitcoin? It's simply a Protocol or code. Think the Internet, pictures, songs, maps, phone calls over the Internet, Snail mail cost vs email, as prices plummeted with those, Bitcoin is merely Money over the Internet and every cost associated with money plummets (Bank, Remittance, Credit Card transactions, wire transfers.) With Bitcoin?

David Portnoy was offended recently by a 'Explain Bitcoin Like I was 5' but this 3 Minute cartoon for kids does an outstanding job explaining it all:

FIFTH FLOOR:

Other 'Crypto'? Yes, there are 10s of 1000s of other crypto coins but think like Currency or Stocks, most of them are doing nothing, decreasing, zombies as far as value goes. Not able to keep up with the current financial systems/inflation around the world. FIAT (currencies) and CRYPTO are similar but Bitcoin stands alone.

SIX FLOOR:

Energy Use too high? Bitcoin doesn't waste energy, it uses waste energy.

Daniel Batten and Troy Cross are the experts to follow and because of their efforts, especially Batten, Grok and other AIs are getting it right now.

SEVENTH FLOOR:

If it's not useless is it Ethical? Alex Gladstein is the world expert on the 'Use Cases' of Bitcoin, explaining how it is an asset for all people, especially the underbanked/unbanked.

xxxxxx FLOOR:

Can it be hacked today or tomorrow based on new technology. The network is massive, down to the galaxy level, it would take 2 earth's worth of energy to hack the network for perhaps just a few blocks.
