>The answer is that we are using it: as a store of value

Money serves no purpose beyond a convenient means for economic transactions and paying taxes. There is no magic behind it, nor is it meant to be a long term store of value. It has to turn over to be useful. So if you're holding Bitcoin as a store of value (relative to what?) then there is no point comparing it to money.

There's also a difference between "saving" and "hoarding".
