      In theory, metal coins are valuable because in order to acquire the metal to make them you've gotta go dig around in the ground for it. Similarly, bitcoin is valuable because you've got to devote time and processing power to create them. US dollars are valuable because ... uh, the US government says so, I guess. I don't really see how bitcoin is unique in being backed by nothing.
