It is backed up by nothing, the value only depends on people's money, and that is all, if you buy bitcoin, your money will be added to the market capitalization of it, and the price will go up, and this is what makes bitcoin so high at the moment, because people are investing every time more, and a lot of people is being introduced in.
So if all people decide to sell, then the price will drop to $0, and this is how it works.

You just destroyed thread (why) and as far as i know it is not linked to real money (and we really need to find its maker ) ,basicly what BTC does that borrows money from all internet for what? Because it is made out of nothing if you know what i meant here (and plus you farm nothing then basicly thin air) when i think about it his maker is genius when you think deeper he made 0 to 4000 out of nothing.

Bitcoin is not backed up by any physical asset like any fiat currency. Most of the fiat currencies are backed up by Gold and Silver. But we can say that bitcoin's value is backed up by public trust worldwide. The more people trust and invests in bitcoin, the more the value will go up. If the investors start feeling negative about bitcoin, they will start selling and the value of bitcoin will come down. Recently when China announces ban on ICO, a lot of Chinese investors started selling their bitcoin holdings which increased the bitcoin inflow in the market tahn the demand, resulting in price dip. So we can say that bitcoin is backed up by public trust in a way.

Bitcoin is not backed up by anything. Bitcoin based on the demand and speculation. Because sometimes you are seeing some people are buying the bitcoin caused by they are interested about the future of the bitcoin and not about the tech behind the bitcoin itself as deserve a real fact. A lot of people said that about the crypto full with a lot of speculation.
This will be so hard to say about those are trusting the bitcoin. But crypto was running with its native value and not about the manipulation.

if we talk only about the price, that's true. But bitcoin itself backed by its tech, people trust and electricity consumed in mining process.
Now if i ask what is back the gold? Why ppl think it's precious?

Like all modern money, Bitcoin is not backed by any asset.

When people use the phrase "backed by", they can mean different things. For example, people might say that a currency is or is not "backed by":
  • gold
  • full faith and credit of the government
  • the military might of the country
  • the requirement to use it to pay taxes and its status as a legal tender

The meanings of these uses of "backed by" are all different.

Typically, when asking what a currency is backed by, a person is really asking what thing of value does a unit of the currency represent. The dollar used to be backed by 1/20th of an ounce of gold, and a person could go to the U.S. Treasury or a bank and convert their paper dollars into the equivalent amount of gold. That backing was removed completely by Nixon in 1971.

So, if money is backed by nothing, then what gives it its value? The answer is that its value ultimately comes from its utility.

Bitcoin has utility, therefore it has value. You can say that Bitcoin is backed by its utility.

It is backed by nothing. That's where most of its criticisms come from. Critics often say Bitcoin's value is only what the other person wants to pay for it, and it's somewhat true. I don't think there's anything wrong with this though. Value is a man made concept, and for as long as Bitcoin is considered to be valuable by its user base, it will remain valuable. It's the closest thing we have to a currency revolution, and people will rally behind it for as long as it is.

I know it sounds weird and has big difference to what economical standard is. When we talked about world order, we always touches the importance of gold reserves that the country must have to make fiat currency.

But in crypto world and bitcoin it was backed up by “us”, the bitcoin users/investors who trusted it for so long now. It started with only few believers and now in due time we will be touching billions in numbers as we increasing rapidly as the prices jump at 5800$. It change how we look about investments, demand and supply works perfectly,

Bitcoin is backed up by the lack of trust between senders and receiver and intermediaries.
If you don't trust others, you value the fact that you can always trust bitcoin.

It's backed by nothing tangible, really. Unless you count the blockchain and the hashing power which supports it as something that backs Bitcoin, you basically out of luck. The value mostly comes from the security and anonymity, both of which are relatively intangible and are beneficial on a completely case-to-case basis. If you wanted to go and exchange your Bitcoin for anything, well, there isn't anything you can directly exchange it to that doesn't depend on supply and demand. If there was something that Bitcoin was actually backed by, would it make it more valuable or less valuable?
