For block rewards you'd have to mine. In particular you'd have to have a server running a node joined in the network ready to generate a block whenever your number is called. Not everyone would want to do that, so there's usu

You can look at the block rewards and mining fees as interest on your investment. The "saved" part is interesting too - I've seen variations where you have to lock your stake for a longer period (trading rewards for liquidity

In a very simplified way, proof of work is a way to roughly uniformily distribute the block generation "queue". In a network without identities how do you prevent someone creating hundreds of accounts to have a hundred times more
