Bitcoin is up the past couple of weeks. So inevitably, the BTC community will be calling it a store of value.

I think the general community is just reacting to the moving goalposts. When BTC's value is up, its a store of value. When its value is down, BTC's value is its transactions.

the question was what advantages bitcoin has over gold. one of the answers was divisibility. that answer was rejected by GP's comment because "irrelevant to store of value aspect" i'm just pointing out that this reason for rejection of a valid argument is plain dumb.
