People will believe it because they've seen it go up thousands of percent in a decade, shaking off massive downturns to go even higher. That alone makes it look bullet proof even though its not. Whats going to burst the bubble? Government action to ban or curtail it use. At that point it illiquid nature and lack of intrinsic worth will become apparent.
