The other reason ppl buying BTC is that it may rocket to the sky after the 1st august.
And that my friend is exactly what happened before the 1st of August it was stuck at 2k9 $ just after the fork it passed the 3k $ mark which was one of the milestone. I don't know exactly how that happened ( I don't understand the bitcoin price mechanic ) but something in my head told me to get some bitcoin and I actually made some profit !
