no, bitcoins are "made", they are very unique large numbers calculated by a very processor intensive algorithim, so there is a finite number available at any given moment, but that number slowly increases.

Bitcoins are starting to become popular for buying things like prescription drugs from india, so there value is increasing as more people find a use for them.

Might they crash again? Sure.
