 Since value is subjective it cannot be stored. 

What you've got is a Medium of Exchange over time and space. If you cannot exchange it with your future self (over time) it becomes useless as a Medium of Exchange over space too.

 I like the logic. 

I value my Bitcoin more than any other tradeable good right now. 

I believe that it will command more value in the future.

 All value can be stored over time and space, it is just a question of how much others will pay, which is subjective.

 Is not "Medium of Exchange over time and space" essentially the very definition of "Store of Value?" 

I believe it is moreso a problem of semantics, as it is challenging to find words to describe these things

 Wait, why? 

A US dollar is not useful to me in 100 years, but it is useful to me (or someone else) tomorrow.

 And for anyone else that, like me, has to pull the thread until things are completely unraveled, Knut says it clearly at the 1:10 time mark in this podcast:
