So only those good at math can become bitcoin rich?

How do those of us number challenged obtain them? What REALLY prevents creation of any bitcoin by anyone? How do I take payment in bitcoin then pay my bank loan with them?

I am confused...so many say how its a new not quite currency but I do not understand how it has any value.

You don't have to be a math whiz. You can of course buy them, hoping they go up in price, "mine" them, or trade the price swings at online trading markets just like you would stocks or commodities.
