we agree, there are lots of new tokens with multiple use-cases, and functional currency-coins with lower prices, so being a "store of value" is all bitcoin can brag right now.
and since the market cap is $1 trillion, how much new value can be stored in one bitcoin? where's the leverage?
plus, imagine buying a meal, or paying for groceries, with bitcoin. all the leading zeroes in a minor purchase would make determining accuracy of any charge nearly impossible.
so i'm betting those flush with bitcoin profits will lose loyalty to it, and move on to greener pastures.
