Alright I kinda understand how it works. My mind is blown by it though. So many questionsssss..... Like once all 20 mil are discovered, then what? And who decides the exchange rate for real money, when they are just fake coins some guy made up?

No one knows and it will be another 15 years or something like that before they are mined.

The market does just like anything else. Supply and demand.

It's all interesting stuff and some people think Bitcoins or one of the alternatives it has birthed/will birth could one day be strong enough to take down world markets and governments since no one person or interest group regulates them like real currency.
