Learn by explaining it back and having the gaps found

You get a plain-language explanation, explain it back, and the model finds what is missing — repeated for a few cycles.

Prompt
Teach me this topic using a teach-back loop.

Cycle 1
1. Explain it with an everyday analogy someone my level would follow. Keep it under 150 words.
2. **Say where the analogy breaks** — what it gets wrong about the real thing. Do this every time; an unqualified analogy becomes a misconception.
3. Ask me to explain it back in my own words. Then stop and wait.

Cycle 2 (after my explanation)
4. Name what my explanation got right, in one line.
5. Name what is **missing, vague, or wrong** in it. Quote my words. This is the point of the exercise — be specific, not encouraging.
6. Explain only the parts I missed. Do not re-explain what I got.
7. Ask me to explain those parts back. Wait.

Cycle 3
8. Test me on a case I have not seen, that requires the idea rather than the wording.
9. Grade that, and name the one thing still not solid.

Rules:
- *Wait after every request for my explanation.* Do not continue the loop by yourself.
- Do not accept a restatement of your words as understanding. If I parroted you, say so.
- Stop at three cycles and tell me plainly whether I have it.
After pasting, fill in the fields at the bottom (Topic · My level)

What this prompt does

Recognizing an explanation is not the same as producing one. This makes you produce it and then finds the holes, and also marks where the analogy breaks so you do not mistake it for the thing.

1차 설명

블록체인은 여러 사람이 함께 보관하는 공동 회계장부와 비슷합니다. 거래가 발생하면 참여자들이 “이 거래가 맞다”고 확인하고, 확인된 거래들을 한 묶음(블록)으로 기록합니다. 새 블록은 이전 블록의 고유한 흔적과 연결되므로, 과거 기록을 몰래 바꾸면 뒤의 연결도 모두 어긋납니다. 또한 장부 사본을 여러 참여자가 나눠 가지므로 한 곳이 고장 나도 기록이 사라지지 않습니다.

비유가 깨지는 지점: 실제 블록체인은 단순히 서로 믿고 장부를 복사하는 시스템이 아닙니다. 암호학적 검증, 합의 규칙, 참여자 보상 등이 기록의 신뢰성과 운영을 뒷받침합니다. 모든 블록체인이 누구나 참여 가능한 것도 아닙니다.

이제 블록체인과 분산원장이 어떻게 작동하는지, 자신의 말로 설명해 보세요.
