Isn't store of value something that keeps up with inflation? I put 100$ today, which can buy X, in 20 years I can still buy X with that, while 100$ can buy just X/2.

Otherwise I just use the dollar bill as the store of value

If bitcoin tracked inflation, sure I'd count that. Under that definition, and its a reasonable one, government bonds are a good store of value and bitcoin is a terrible one.
