Store of value. Resistant to inflation and hard to seize (if properly secured).

Bitcoin does not seem like a safe long term value storage.

Would you be willing to put your life savings in bitcoin for e.g. 30 years? I wouldn't and I would be surprised if many did.

Why does it have to be all or nothing? 10% to 15% of your portfolio is more reasonable. Adjust the percentage based on your bull/bear feeling towards the market.

That sounds more like investment/speculation.

I was speaking against this specific idea that bitcoin is (long term, stable) store of value.
