The "store of value" thing was made up to keep the speculation bubble inflating when it became clear Bitcoin had no practical use.

Isn't the revisionist history amazing? All of the other use cases (e.g. smart contracts) are proven failures and now the original use case (payment method) is also clearly a failure, so the narrative shifts to "it was never intended to be a payment method, only a store of value". A store of value that can drop 40% in days, BTW, another failed use case.
