Well, it's a good indication that you really need to do more research then. From the bitcoin-central site itself:

=========
Bitcoins are virtual coins in the form of a file that is stored on your device.
These coins can be sent to and from users three ways:
1. Direct with peer-to-peer software downloaded at bitcoin.org

3. Via a bitcoin currency exchange

previous transaction and the public key of the next owner and adding these to
the end of the coin. A payee can verify the signatures to verify the chain of
ownership.

If is not backed by currency, it could be 2 kids sitting in their moms basement starting this.....
Elite rules, banks own the money, government owns the banks.......If this catches on, and takes over for the paper money we have, then everyone would have nothing! The elites would have control because they own the money.....
Hopefully I made sense, but probably not......Seems like you are hellbent on this idea
