I consider myself tech aware, if not savvy. I do not understand Bitcoin, like at all. I'm pretty sure it's a scam, top to bottom.

It is a currency just like any other. It is created via virtual mining (the more work you do the higher chance you strike a vein). It's value is purely speculative. There are more bitcoin scams that legitimate uses.
