store of value is a narrative for lazy people. just sit there and do nothing and masturbate to candlestick charts all day long. medium of exchange takes work. bitcoin maximalists are a bunch of lazy cunts.

Store of value is the whole point. You won’t get anywhere if it isn’t that.
that's just cope. you couldn't do a good medium of exchange if you tried. what's the point of even trying to do a store of value if all the value is getting stored in custodial accounts now? most people are using a custodial lightning wallet if they use lightning at all. it's designed so poorly that it rearranges itself into a custodial system. bitcoin devs haven't lifted a finger to make self-custody more accessible for large numbers of users. they just worked on lightning instead. bitcoin devs couldn't do a good medium of exchange so they gave up and changed the narrative to store of value, and they can't do a good store of value either.
Ok, cool.
