The belief that the value will rise is only a minor part of my interest and investment in Bitcoin. My primary reason is a belief in the increase of its abilities and usefulness. Having programmable money opens a whole bunch of possible opportunities that haven't even been conceived yet. At the very least, it offers opportunities to disrupt the business practices of a lot of notaries, title companies, gambling operators, wire transfer companies, transparent systems for non-profit finances, etc. The concept of an open distributed ledger that doesn't require you to trust the parties you are dealing with is exciting. Simply put, I think its the future of monetary transfer. Perhaps not a good system to replace daily transactions, but certainly a good system for bulk transactions and to build a whole new generation of finance.
