User 028559d218 is saying that Bitcoin is really, really good. Like having a toy that can play, draw, and tell stories all by itself. You can take it to any friend's house, and no one can steal it if you remember a secret password. Plus, it stays valuable even if other toys become too many or less fun to play with. It even has a secret code (Lightning Network) that lets you share or receive toys quickly and without giving too much away.
In reply, didiplaywell says that many people don't get how great Bitcoin is because they don't know what real 'toys' are. It's like not knowing why a Lego set is better than a single block.
Finally, Bell_curve explains that unless you've seen your toys lose all their fun (like hyperinflation or currency devaluation), you wouldn't understand why a super toy (Bitcoin) is better. It's like learning why an ice-cream doesn't stay frozen under the sun only after it melts.

I like how it tried to get analogies to articulate thoughts. It didn't really got it well but seems to be half-way to it.
