I've discovered Bitcoin few days ago, but I am skeptical about few things, why would I invest money in Bitcoins at the end of the day,why would I convert money into Bitcoins?

If I want to buy stocks or invest money I can easily invest with real $. Why would I convert my $ to bitcoins?
If I want to gamble , I can simply gamble on websites that require $ as currency, why would I convert it to bitcoins?
What's the difference between Bitcoins and dolars? What does bitcoin bring to the table that real $ don't, less taxes, more income?

You just discovered one face of Bitcoin. That face is most visibile because of some attractivity for sure and it's investing/speculation. Many people are speculating on Bitcoin price increase, Bitcoin is known because of high volatilility. It's high risk speculation.
Bitcoin can give you some kind of freedom and anonymity. This can be benefit for someone who wants to do a gambling for example. It's much easier to gamble using bitcoin.

But there another side of Bitcoin and it's real currency. Use it as currency daily business or life spending. Bitcoin is still not there, but it can happen we will reach that on day.

If you look Bitcoin only as possible investment, than better you invest in the real market.
For me, bitcoin is not only investment but future currency and online payment method which will replace Paypal and many other payment options available now.
If you look from this perspective, it's good thing to join Bitcoin.
If you don't see this ''long term'' vision behind Bitcoin, than try something else.
