Who would have guessed that all the math we studied in college would lead us to a truly free market.

Can't remember where i saw this quote:

Cryptography keeps it secure, decentralized keeps it from corruption, open source keeps it honest, and limited supply keeps it from inflating.

That is why I trust Bitcoin.

Is gaining popularity all about trust?  Trust isn't needed for people to use it. They might use it because it's cheaper, more convenient and safer than alternatives.

Then there are two different levels of trust involved.
 
I trust the transaction system because it is completely open and understandable. No shady things going on. I can watch what's happening.

Do I trust that the value stored in my bitcoins will not evaporate one day? Not really. But I'll still use them because of these earlier mentioned three reasons.

Not only does Bitcoin have the potential to become a global currency without the backing of any government or organization, it eliminates the need to rely on payment processors for online payments.

Edit: I realize this doesn't quite answer the question but it was an off-the-cuff response. When I have a bit more time, I'll write a more accurate and concise statement.

Voluntary decentralized non-human controlled currency backed by people.

It's got everything that fiat-money doesn't have:
*centralized
*mandatory (for taxes)
*human-controlled (central banks, politics)
*backed by decree

Bitcoin isn't run by people, who can be corrupted, bribed etc - it's run by math.
