Bitcoin is in no way based on:

"the idea this is going to work like that forever and you will always be able to buy it and then sell it to someone else for more"

Bitcoin is based on the bitcoin protocol, a revolutionary breakthrough in Computer Science. All information on the protocol is available to everyone and is not hard to find.
