What stops Bitcoin’s creators from just "printing" coins?
I'm trying to convince a friend to invest, but they're concerned with the fact that it's unregulated and they think that the creators could easily just make up their own bitcoins.
From what I've read, I don't believe this is true, but I wasn't able to explain it well. Can anyone give me a nice succinct explanation to help me out?
