But the idea that Bitcoin serves as "a store of value" is so absurd and full of logical fallacies that I think it deserves to be explored.
First, in order for something to be "a store" of anything... it needs to exist in the present moment first. Bitcoin's value comes (or came) from the fact that it is a usable network to send payments efficiently and cost-effectively. Bitcoin's value in the present is totally dependent on network-effect, upon the fact that people are actually using the network (today, right now).
Now the idea that everyone else on Earth is going to buy 0.1 BTC, 0.05 BTC or 0.001 BTC and simply sit on it forever (HODL) for your benefit is ridiculous.
You'r stuck in the past. You can keep believing whatever you want to happen...hoping it will happen...but the reality is that the market will decide what Bitcoin's utility will be: currency of exchange or store of value.
And right now, Bitcoin's values is being driven by the buy and hold mentality.
Bitcoin's value came at first (like 5 years ago) from the usable payment network. For that to continue to provide value for Bitcoin the network needs to expand, i.e., merchants need to accept bitcoin as payment. But that's not happening.
What is happening is people buying bitcoin, holding bitcoin, and then new people wanting to buy bitcoin. This is literally turning Bitcoin into a store of value.
