Of course, it is everyone's taste. One values USD more and other BTC more. Objectively, so far, BTC was a better investment. And given some 80% of BTC was already mined and there will be no more BTC ever while 20% of USD was printed this year (edit: sorry, in 2020), I undestand why some people stash Bitcoin. I have maybe 0.5% of my net worth in it, but I am very happy for those 0.5%.

Dollars are not meant to be an "investment". The fact that the supply can be increased on demand is a feature, not a bug.
