A store of value holds its purchasing power over time, so you can save today and spend years later. Gold has played that role for centuries. Money for daily payments needs a different quality most days: stability right now, not growth.
This is why crypto debates often talk past each other. People calling bitcoin "digital gold" are making a store-of-value argument; critics pointing at its daily swings are judging it as everyday money. Both can be right at once, because the same asset is being tested against two different jobs. Before deciding what something is worth, decide which job you are asking it to do.
