What is mining? Explain this in your own words and what benefit can be from this to an ordinary person. It seems to me that many people still do not understand this.

In a simple way mining is getting a cryptocurrency so as to sell it and make a profit from it. So, mining is quite difficult. Although now you can find alternative options like platforms on which you can buy a bitcoin token, then stake BTC mining token and get a reward. The process is more complicated, for this you need to figure the training materials out, but it's easier than traditional mining.
