Price goes up and it means nothing. BTC's price went up and it still can't be used as cash.

Store of value is a meme invented by influencers on Twitter. They did a damn good job too.

No coiners as usual seem to ignore that Yens or Euros (or even gold bars!) can't be used as cash in the US.

To all the people complaining they can't use BTC as cash to buy food or clothes: give me just 1/10 of a bitcoin (or 5000 Euros or ...) and I will give you food (a good meal!) and clothes (I'll even throw in free shoes!)

The same offer applies for a gold bar!

Yen and Euros can be used as cash in Japan and the Eurozone, though.

And, yeah, gold bars mostly aren’t money, either (there was a time when that may have been different, but...)

Bitcoin is already storing over $1.1 trillion of the world's wealth which would currently put it in the top 10 global assets [1], as well as the top 10 global currencies based on M1 money supply [2]. It is also the best performing asset over the past 10 years [3]. It appears to already be a store of value.
