Did you know that mining evolved from physical gold to digital cryptocurrencies?
In the past, gold seekers scoured rivers and mountains with shovels and picks, risking their lives for a rare metal that served as a store of value. Mining was physical, exhausting, and dependent on the natural environment.
Today, "mining" is done on a computer. Instead of extracting gold, miners solve mathematical problems to validate transactions on networks like Bitcoin. They no longer use manual tools, but rather powerful machines like GPUs and ASICs.
Both share a principle: value is born from effort. Only now the effort is digital and the reward is virtual.
Future or present? You decide.
