Value can be stored in anything people agree upon. There are 2 kinds of people, those who have bitcoin, and those who don't really understand it (yet).
The Fed has printed 40% of all dollars EVER printed within just the last year. Inflation is unavoidable at this point, probably coming as soon as the economy picks back up. People and institutions aren't going to store their money somewhere where it drops in value every week due to inflation. When this happens there will be an absolute torrent of money flow into crypto and the value will increase proportionally.
Bitcoin was specifically built by monetary cryptography experts to solve the fatal problems that most (or probably all) currencies have.
Bitcoin has never really gone down. It's corrected after huge increases in popularity, but it has always rebounded hard in ~3yr supercycles. You could have bought bitcoin at absolutely ANY price and made (significant) money. This bull run is almost certainly not over yet, prices are predicted to increase 2-10x this year alone. And then again. And then again...
The "dollar" we as know it will not be around for much longer.
