ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Transfer principle

Okay kiddo, let me explain the transfer principle for you. Have you ever shared your toys with a friend or sibling? Well, the transfer principle is kind of like sharing but with money or property.

It says that when you transfer something to someone else, like giving them money, you can't transfer more than what you have or own. It's like if you only have two cookies, you can't give your friend three cookies because you only have two.

The transfer principle is important because it means that people can't cheat or lie when transferring things to others. It also helps make sure that everyone is treated fairly and has what they need.

So, always remember the transfer principle, and make sure you only give or transfer what you actually have!
