What is this bitcoin?
I know I keep hearing stuff, but if it's not U.S. money, and it's not Euro cash, what is it? Who makes it? How does the value of the coin actually increase? Keep the answer simple so I can explain it to kids!

It's a made-up currency that only exists online. It's heavily encrypted to try and make it impossible to steal. There is a certain amount of new bitcoins released every year.
