I have been known to describe Bitcoin as Myspace and Ethereum as Facebook.

You would say that because you're the kind of nerd who rolls his own social networks in his spare time. Most people have no idea what Prodigy was. Meanwhile if you tell them Ethereum is "the Internet" they will ask how they can check their Facebook on it. Not everyone had a Myspace account, but everyone knew someone who had a Myspace account. Not everyone did anything with Myspace, but everyone stumbled across Myspace while they were googling something unsuccessfully. There's an ubiquity and purposelessness to Myspace that is pedagogically useful in this instance.
