Monero (cryptocurrency)

Monero is a type of money that lives on the computer. It's special because it's very private and no one can see how much Monero you have or what you spend it on. You can use Monero to buy things online or in real life, just like you can use regular money. But instead of using coins or paper bills, you use a special computer program and a secret password called a private key to send and receive Monero. You can also earn Monero by helping keep the network running smoothly, which is called mining. Overall, Monero is a cool way to have your own private money that nobody can spy on or control!
