Pictured above is a fun activity: Marshmellow stacking.

Students first built marshmallow towers using 1 marshmallow as a base (vertical stacking). It was really easy for the towers to topple.

Students then built towers using a base of many marshmallows (pyramid shape). It was strong base, hard to shake, and even if a few marshmallows collapsed, the entire tower still stood.

This activity highlighted the benefits of decentralization and blockchain. When the gov (or any centralized actor) has control of the currency, any decision they make (print more money... engage in trade war..) can topple the entire system. A decentralized system is not owned by any 1 entity, and thus is more secure and safe.
