I am curious to know who or what entity is responsible for backing up Bitcoin. Is it a central authority, a group of individuals, or does it rely on a decentralized network for support?

Bitcoin, unlike traditional currencies, does not have any asset backing it.

Similarly, gold, often seen as a store of value, is not backed by any other asset.

Fiat currencies, which are legal tender in most countries, are also not backed by any physical asset.
