Title: Bitcoin security - "big room" analogy Post by: bitlotto on April 24, 2011, 12:44:16 AM ...begin shameless self promotion... 8)
http://bitcoinweekly.com/articles/how-bitcoin-security-works-by-analogy I've haven't written anything of substance in a really long time. I was trying to explain Bitcoin security to someone and was having a very hard time. All I got back was a blank stare. I hope this analogy 'kind of' explains what's happening behind the scenes...

Though BitLotto gave back 5 BTC I paid him...still it support the production of new articles.

Your last paragraph seems to be missing some line breaks though (and would look better if you used the HTML <ul> and <li> tags rather than a "handmade" list). I'd also go into trying to explain, after that last paragraph, why it's impossible to forge and steal things - just simple explanations like "because you need x information to do so, and if you don't have it, calculating it would take trillions of years".
