 store of value story of btc is a myth
was wrong
destroyed value for me

shares worked as store of value
delivered same or higher dividends when crimes happened and the market went down

i do not care what will happen in 500 years from now

 Then you made some really silly decisions. Sorry about that!  No asset has a better track record.

 There are certainly caveats to this. There are assets that have performed better than bitcoin from the previous peak to today's price, time frame matters.

 Been DCAing into Bitcoin for 7 years.  Have also been deeply invested in various stocks because it's part of my compensation. Although those stocks by and large would be considered winners over the last 5 years, Bitcoin has outperformed by multiples. Idk what you did. Likely bought during the covid top and are now salty. That's too bad. Wishing you all the best!

 Sorry you've had a bad time trading! You're objectively in the minority. But I'm sure you're super smart! Good job!

 Hey doc, just buy small amounts and hold it for 3-5 years. You’ll be happy.
