Very well put, the 'store of value' narrative is old and played out on many levels, because, really, what is value?
I like buying tools and other things that I will actually need and use. That to me is a store of value, same with bullets, lol, those are my precious metals, lol. I don't see a point in holding gold or silver anymore, but others do. It's just really all in someone's perception. Same with the fact that I am still a fan of proof of work. I can buy physical computers, use them to mine Monero and other coins, and then I still have a computer that I can use for whatever, or sell later on down the line.
Value can be seen on many different levels. For example: I don't see value in most of the consumer crap that people spend their money on, but they obviously see value in it for one reason or the other. Drives me crazy when my daughter spends her money from work on silly stuff, but it makes her happy and has value to her. Whether they can sell it in the future is a whole other thing entirely and that is where the financial meaning of 'value' comes into play. Same thing with Bitcoin, Hive, fiat, stocks, or any other investment. Some may see the value where others do not. Hmm... I may need to just write a post, lol.
