They do not need to be traded for "real money." They're just as real as any money, they're just not as popular as traditional currencies at the moment. All money is just a mediator of trading.

I have a question. Can the founder of Bitcoin generate as many Bitcoins as he wants, for himself?

Do you think people would be using a system where that was possible?

Mining refers to the process by which new bitcoins are formed. You see in order to run and verify transactions the bitcoin network needs computing power. To get it bitcoin was designed so that solving transaction blocks would result in a prize of bitcoins. The more computing power there is the more is needed to get coins. Bitcoin is set to automatically adjust difficulty so that it takes until a certain year that I forget to mine them all. After this the network will be maintained by fees people can use to make their transactions go faster, these fees go to miners

Of course not.  That's not to say that he didn't mine a bunch when the difficulty was low, though.

That's the case with all government currencies.

They have since its inception because they refuse to even read about. Instead they just dismiss it a some sort of scheme.

It must be pretty advanced for the creator to be locked out of generating bitcoins at will.

i was looking though older threads yesterday, all the info is already in the older threads

if i remember correctly


there are a set amount to be generated, and as more are found they start increasing the length of the algorithms  = harder to mine

only a fraction of the computing power is used for transactions, the rest is just "useless" computing

the point of mining is to get the bitcoins in circulation, similar to the government giving out loans at low interest rates, its just a way to get them in circulation

What are you talking about?  90% of your posts in this thread have made no sense.

It's decentralized.  The "creator" has nothing to do with it other than coming up with the protocol.

You don't use computers to mine anymore, you use ASIC mining hardware.  Spending any money on a computer to mine BTC at this point would be a complete waste of money.
