If every car is tracking its owner, a bus is like a coinjoin.

Maybe that's how we should explain joinstr to our kids.

A bus is a good idea. AFAIK, you can still get a ticket and ride without KYC, unlike planes

And use public transportation or bicycles 😉

Bikes are ecash.

The world needs more analogies for the 21st century...these kids today don't know zip about how systems work....the best approach is to always remain somewhat relatable.

Unless you cannot pay for the bus in cash and ought to use fiat cards (both entering and exiting, of course).

Unless you pay by bus card

I like the bus analogy. There is another way to describe joinstr.

- An ostrich creates a nest (pool)

- Some female ostriches lay their eggs in the nest (register inputs)

- Incubation period lasts for a few minutes (coordination using relays)

- Hatching of eggs (new UTXOs)

Eggs were of different colors but the ostriches that come out of these eggs look the same.
