I cannot understand how my processor earns bitcoin, and who gives me it!?
The best way to find this out is to probably google it. I doubt most people here will explain it better than most articles do.

Simple answer:
Quote
I tell three friends that I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100, and I write that number on a piece of paper and seal it in an envelope. My friends don't have to guess the exact number, they just have to be the first person to guess any number that is less than or equal to the number I am thinking of. And there is no limit to how many guesses they get.

It's explained more in-depth in the article with other examples & technicalities. -> https://www.investopedia.com/tech/how-does-bitcoin-mining-work/

The block chain is a method of storing data using hash functions. Think about it like this, today you collect data "A". You hash "A", and store it away. Tomorrow you collect data "B". But instead of just hashing "B", you hash "B" + hash of "A", and store that away. "B" is now chained to "A" because you included the hash "A" inside the hash of "B". In this example, we call "A" the genesis block because it was the first one, and it is not chained to any prior blocks.

As for mining, it is a proof that some "work" was done. It is rooted to the concept of currency. Ask yourself, why does gold have value? The simple answer is, somebody, or some team had to put in lots of "work" to obtain gold. The bitcoin mining process is mimicking this process.
That is why it to is also refer to as "mining". What your processor is doing is solving a math problem. The problem is a hash function, but for simpler terms, think of it as an equation. Your process plugs in a number, solves the equation, and checks if the answer is within the acceptable region. If its not, your processor picks a new number and tries again. If answer is inside the acceptable region then you get bitcoins.

Seems a little bit complicated to me about "any number that is less than or equal to the number sealed in the envelop" but I understand what means. This means that the processor didn't even guess the exact number but still receiving reward from hashing data from blocks in blockchain.

This really help, I would read more about it since it's given already by AdolfinWolf.
