if its a trap... at least you'll be traped with an asset that is:

1. Scarce
2. Durable
3. Portable
4. Divisible
5. Impossible to counterfeit
7. Fungible ( any 1 BTC has the same value as any other )
8. Easy to keep safe ( contrary to popular belief, it easy to print out a paper wallet...)
9. Shiny ( yes the digital bits that make up a bitcoin are VERY shiny)
10. all of the above. + very shiny
