People are frail and insecure.
They believe that wealth will bring security and they are partly correct.
So when they are told shitcoins could bring wealth quickly...
Why did you buy Bitcoin? - Be honest.
100% honest. Because I thought it was a great store of energy. Everyone is looking to store energy through time and space, especially in a digital fashion (!) and before I read about bitcoin I didn't know anything like it existed.
It reminded me of the 'storing of energy' at work... except in a new, digital, and remarkable way
'everyone will want it' eventually whether they understand it now or not. and I still feel that way 100%. it has nothing to do with paper money

Ok but most Bitcoiners start buying for less idealistic reasons.
Look on r/bitcoin or even here on SNs- most Bitcoiners are clearly primarily motivated by the hope of speculative gain.
