Attempted to simplify using AI: 

Imagine you and your friends want to make decisions together. In Proof of Stake (PoS), it’s like the friend with the most toys or money getting more say. However, this can have problems because someone with a lot of toys might do things that are not good for everyone.

Now, think of Proof of Work (PoW) like a game where everyone has to solve puzzles. The more puzzles you solve, the more say you get. This way, it’s harder for one person to control everything because everyone has to play the game.

Bitcoin uses this game idea to keep things fair, so no one can boss everyone else around too easily.
