Gold has been in use for hundreds of years and yet it's still very volatile. If Bitcoin is digital gold that doesn't really solve the volatility problem.

I don't think people are arguing bitcoin will be less volatile than gold, but BTC is currently still an order of magnitude more volatile than gold.

Point being that even with gold's volatility it is still seen by pretty much everyone as a viable store of value, and I think BTC will be similar.
