Dude just talking to people helps when you want certain things. I literally spoke to the owner of a building materials shop near and they take Bitcoin now. They use strike get the Bitcoin and convert some into fiat and save a portion into Bitcoin. I also made a deal with someone to cover my building cost and I pay them with Bitcoin until I completely cover it.

Gold is only a store of value because people had it pass down that it is still a store of value. Its as much as a store of value as a slow melting ice cube if you keep pricing it in fiat. Without fiat its just a shiny rock that can do a few cool things. It has a long time of being trusted so that's why people believe its a store of value. But I wouldn't say its a store of value anymore because without fiat it won't be a good way to determine its own value. Its fallen now to speculation, hardly anyone has self custody of their gold. They have IOUs from businesses or if they do self custody it is a small amount that they won't be able to do much with. Store of value for gold is just because there wasn't many other options in the past.

Now do you have any other questions midwit?
