Out of curiosity I just thought where do bitcoins came from??

They're mined, currently at a rate of 25 BTC every 10 minutes. In other words, "printed out of thin air" Cheesy

Are you at all curious where the US Dollar comes from?
...

Everyone knows that fiat toilet paper is printed out of thin air. Just like BTC

You compare apples and oranges here, the 25 BTC every 10 minutes is provably fair mechanism how the total of 21 Million Bitcoin gets disributed over time. How would you distribute 21 Million of Bitcoins otherwise than slowly releasing Bitcoins to those who secure Bitcoin security by mining until all 21 Million Bitcoins are distributed Huh

Not talking about fairness here, merely stating facts: BTC, like USD, is printed out of thin air.
As far as fair distribution, the question is equally valid for fiat: how would you fairly distribute it?
inb4 give it all to me: NO.
