It's volatile because it is exposed to a fuckton of markets, but 1btc will always be 1btc.

That's not how measuring the "store of value" quality works at all.

For example, inflation of a given currency is measured using a basket of goods and services, not other currencies.

This could be said of any economic good.

"1 Tulip bulb will always be 1 tulip bulb. It's just that people but them with a bunch of different currencies and all the other currencies have been really volatile relative to tulips (though not relative to one another)."
