The longer Bitcoin's network continues to function, the more people will become aware of its resiliency. Governments may topple; banks may fail; exchanges may go bust; Bitcoin keeps on ticking. Difficult-to-forge assets that can survive the failures of governments, banks, exchanges, etc. tend to gain adoption as stores of value. There aren't a lot of assets like that. Gold is one. Bitcoin appears to be one too.
