She asked me to explain it. I wasn't trying to orange pill her. Since she's dating me I figured she's orange pilled by default. I was trying to thing of a good analogy that would make since to her. She's your typical blonde so this is what I came up with.
"Imagine you're buying makeup, but you want to make sure that you're buying the good stuff without a bunch of toxic chemicals, reach out to 10 different testing companies and say 'here's $10k. first person to test this makeup and tell me if its good or not gets it. But you want to make sure the test was good so you you have the other companies double check the tests and make sure they're correct and conform to the right standards, so you pay the other companies $500 each. Mining works the same way where one person mines a block and gets the biggest reward and the other miners validate that it was done correctly and get a smaller reward." Obviously this assumes that everyone participating is totally honest. It's just an analogy though.
This seemed to make sense to her but what are your thoughts? Is this a good way to explain bitcoin to a non tech female? And are there any other good analogies for a non pleb to be orange pilled by?
So far, we always used trusted third parties to ensure this crucial property, but TTP have always broken our trust.
