This has no consequence over whether or not bitcoin is used as money or as some kind of permanent storage - the market determines how to price those use cases.

If we want bitcoin to be used as money, we need to start producing seriously valuable goods and services that the market will kill for. Since we are bitcoiners and we only accept bitcoin, the broader market that wants what we produce must adopt it. To put it another way, a bitcoin standard just means that society is dependent on bitcoiners to produce everything.
