You can explain things like a movie or a business plan or a new product in a short elevator pitch. “It’s the story of Romeo & Juliet on the Titanic.” “It’s a taxi service but with gig workers using their own cars.” “It’s a new iPod, internet browser & phone in one device.”

But it’s difficult to do this with #bitcoin  . There’s no simple way to convey money, cryptography, the Byzantine generals problem, mining etc. it takes many elevator rides and too often the person you’re talking to gets off at the first available floor.

So what would be your elevator pitch for bitcoin?
