Mining Cryptocurrency? Who can explain?

[Jahor]

Can someone explain this to me in very few words? I have googled it several times now after I hear some sort of news story and I just don't understand how one can "mine" something that is basically invisible, and I also cannot understand how this has an environmental impact.

I think it is better to look for the videos on YouTube, there is much useful info there.

In my opinion this market will be dead very soon. I would better concentrate on my education instead.
