As long as there is a market supporting bitcoins they will be fine.

I still don't fucking understand Bitcoins. How the hell do they work, and when were they first introduced?

People generate Bitcoins by processing transactions, that is by verifying that Bitcoins changed hands.

Once you mine/buy/trade and get Bitcoins you can exchange them by saying "I give Bitcoins #102394 to SOMEGUYS PUBLIC KEY", and sign it with your private key. Everyone logs it, and it's now known that he owns those bitcoins.

Thank you for the explanation. It seems like more trouble than it's worth!

That just goes on in the background. All you need to do is to enter the fields "send _ to __".
