Im not sure I agree with the store of value definition. It is more like an investment in the future of storing value.
I would even go so far as say that the gold price stability over thousands of years is more like a lucky accident than a god-given thing.

I would rephrase your point as follows.
Bitcoin is a store of value, but people have just started to realise it.
Its value will hugely appreciate over time, as more and more people realise it's a store of value.
Regarding gold, it's more of a social consensus, leaving aside gold's characteristics that make it fit the money definition.
The diamond history is even more interesting.
It was a useless thing until about 1-2 centuries ago.
Brain washing (a.k.a. marketing) transformed it in what it is today.

I mean sure Gold has the scarcity and all that, but there is no assurance gold will always be appreciated the same. Even if it's 6000 years and maybe more of human history, I would still call it a history bias that makes you believe people might not just find a much better store of value.
I'm not bearish on gold, but I have concerns and am far less bullish than I was 8 months ago.
I hate diamonds, you could literally take poo and press it hard enough (not quite sure if poo has enough carbon, but still)
