I see what you mean, let me take back my previous comment, which was typed hastily.

I actually agree with you on the most part, you really can't prove that Bitcoin is a good store of wealth.

I am making an educated guess that a cryptographically secure way to transfer value for very cheap is probably here to stay, but it's far from provable.

In fact, if it were provable, it would become a very crowded trade and the returns would drop to zero immediately. The fact that it's unknown allows for potential greater returns (and greater losses if people who agree with me are wrong).
