Value is subjective (See BTC price)
A SoV’s purpose should be to be a
Even with Bitcoin being basically near-stable in terms of supply, and assuming an ideal economic model, it will reflect effectively the same as inflation or deflation in terms of prices of products.
People will lose or gain trust in Bitcoin, some products become harder to produce, some easier, etc etc… There is no reason to value or want Bitcoin except to pass it onto someone else, and therefore that will reflect to the value of Bitcoin
Money has less properties compared to most other things that gives it “value”: only that people want to use it
For example, with your 1 hypothetically perfect store of value, if you can right now buy 3 apples, but only 2 next year, is that the money’s value changing?
Value is subjective, but money’s purpose is to store savings as effectively as possible. The less money can be meddled with, the more accurately it will preserve for the future
What are savings?
… “stored” value!
Also even if Bitcoin was a perfectly stable SoV (in terms of design) people can lose trust on it or speculate on it, which suddenly makes the value of the “SoV” volatile
Exactly what i started with 🙃
Savings are stored value, and that is the purpose of money 🤝
