> The great thing about Bitcoin is that it’s whatever the holder wants it to be, and nothing they don’t want it to be

If someone bought Bitcoin a year ago and wanted it to be a store of value, it is certainly not "whatever the holder wants it to be" for that person

If someone bought US Dollars($) a year ago and wanted it to be a store of value, it is certainly not "whatever the holder wants it to be" for that person.

A lot of currencies are not a good store of value the last 18 months.

Strange, US dollars seem to be as good at making both my mortgage payment, and paying my taxes this year as they were last.

They also seem to be a lot better at buying Bitcoin and Euros and S&P500, but a bit worse at buying lettuce.

No currency seems to be better at buying lettuce this year, though, perhaps the problem here is that there is a shortage of goods and labour...
