The only reason either Bitcoin or gold have value is because of their potential to to be used as good money based on their properties. Simply having the ability to buy and/or hold something with a limited or fixed supply doesn't make it something deserving of value. While you're certainly free to lock up supply while waiting for the rails to get built out as a way to accumulate value, Bitcoin is only getting more valuable because some people are, or will, use it as money to transact in.
