    Um, wow. Not only is this not true, but the Fed has been printing money out of thin air for years and the presses are just getting warmed up. You need to do some research. Dollars are a fiat currency; Not backed by anything but trust (and the trust is fading).

    It's probably a pseudo-name made up by a software group that came up with it.

    Bitcoins are backed by the people's labour.

    You need to compute hashes (= mine) in order to get bitcoins. Computing costs power (= money) and the amount of bitcoins in circulation is limited.
