The fuck is a bitcoin?

It's a virtual currency that can be "produced" by individuals (the goal being to remove fiscal control from banks/governments), but takes insane amounts of energy to extract, from which it derives its value (offer side, demand of course is just determined by how many people are willing to participate.)

 

It's also fucked if quantum computing ever becomes a thing, but thankfully, we are at least 25 years (more likely, 50+) away from that becoming usable.
