This argument is getting tiresome. What makes pork bellies a store of value? What makes shiny metal a store of value? What makes network effects of any kind a store of value? Liquidity is a value prop in and of itself. Trustlessness another. Network effects another. Continuity and network uptime another. Resilience and antifragility another. That's without even getting into the cross-border, censorship resistant, fully auditable, open source and international currency aspect of it.
