Miner

You know how a farmer needs to dig the ground to plant seeds? Well, mining is like digging the ground, but instead of dirt, we're digging for something called cryptocurrency. Miners use special computers to solve complicated math problems and when they solve the problem, they get rewarded with some cryptocurrency. It's like finding treasure! But mining isn't easy, it takes a lot of time and electricity to solve these problems. It's like playing a really hard game on the computer and if you win, you get a prize. That's what miners do, they play a hard game and if they win, they get rewarded with cryptocurrency.
