Understanding Bitcoin really can also convince you that it might not be a superior store of value. Think of the consequences of someone breaking SHA256 which, given, at the moment looks absolutely unfeasible, or of some entity or coordinated entities to actually control the main branch, or the cost of energy to mine (and the fees) exceeding the value of bitcoin at a point in time, or more mundane things like loosing the private key of an address.
