Not because of real value behind it, just because of indoctrination and propaganda. You can do the same with Pokemon trading cards or gold in World of Warcraft.

12dailypro HYIP got $300,000,000. That's when FBI/Federal police shut down 12dailypro.

Big money brings big name's attention

Right, and yet pokemon trading cards and WoW gold both have a lot of real-world value. In fact they're huge markets for converting between money/virtual items.

Who are you to say Bitcoin is just a propaganda? What gives the money in your wallet any value other than the fact government forces you to use it to pay tax on your labor?

EVERYTHING in this world has money value not because they are intrinsic but because we assigned such value to them.
The same goes for Bitcoin and even Gold, and especially Diamond.

We can also say that Diamond is a worthless mass of compressed carbon atoms. It certainly isn't forever (regardless of marketing campaigns), as it can be dissolved gradually by acid etc. And these can now be easily synthesised in a lab. However the only way they are distinguishing between lab-based diamond and those so-called "valuable" naturally found ones is that the natural ones usually have some liked of describable defects within it -- and that is all about it. It is the diamond industry that is really controlling the prices (to protect the industry) of this otherwise worthless pieces of high-density carbon rock + loads of marketing and "branding" of diamond as something "precious" (when it really isn't) to generate a stable demand.

Bitcoin is just one of the applications of technology - blockchain, and for this it does not make sense to say whether this is a trick or not.
If a large number of people recognized bitcoin as a means of calculation and savings, it is their right.
