Store of value is a narrative which became dominant in the libertarian fueled Bitcoin community. There is so much more happening: - Anonymous and bordeless payments, digital cash, the whole point of Bitcoin in the first place - DeFi, basically fully FOSS, permissionless trustless financial system where people can take loans, get interest on savings, trade, etc - Identity, being able to verify reputation and decentralized naming like ENS - Space for artists and pseudo-artists to serve a niche but sizable clientele of NFT buyers - Funding public goods, regenerative finance employed by crypto communities is probably the best way of funding FOSS I have seen - DAOs and coordination mechanisms for decentralized communities ...
