My interest in Bitcoin is the freedom from third parties, (Especially the government) and it's decentralized nature.
Price comes only second to that. If Bitcoin was a centralized technology, I would not invest in it, no matter how amazing the price.
I've seen that different Bitcoiners have their various interests in it, some pictured it as a store of value, it's decentralised nature like you mentioned attracted some, while some, cause of fast transaction speed for business and so forth, whatsoever. Well, priced might have come second to you but I feel lots of people at the early stages adopted Bitcoin when the price surged high from it's initial price when it was created most people never bothered about getting too familiar with the technology but the volatility is what attracted lots of adoption by the majority and to be honest if Bitcoin wasn't decentralized I don't think the project would've gone this far, the government would've messed up the whole concept and many investors would've abandoned it.
It's an incorruptible money which is provably verified and completely out of control of anyone. Especially the government(s).
And it has all the advantages of old-age money (fiat). If anything, it is an updated version of it. Next-gen money.

Price for me is just a bonus because that is where place our buy and sell entry. What I really like about Bitcoin is it's decentralization, future proof, inflation proof and more. I am tired of what has happened to the current fiat currency I have here in my country due to high inflation rate depreciation is at it's best, so much better to hodl Bitcoin or convert fiat to Bitcoin for future purposes.
Not only inflation proof but deflationary. So it will never stop rising in value, as long as there is steady demand.
