Understood, but that doesn't explain why it's a store of value meaning why can't bitcoin cost 5k vs 10k

supply vs demand. More and more people are getting introduced to bitcoin, understanding it and buying into it. There's also a cap on the total number of bitcoins, so scarcity is another factor. Just like why gold is worth X instead of X/2

That's pretty much the definition of a pump-and-dump scheme.

ok, but gold sometimes is worth X and sometimes X/2, if you actually plot the chart of gold. Gold is not exactly a great investment
