This sentence makes no sense to me. Stating that "Storing of Bitcoins is against Bitcoin" is the same as "Storing of GOLD is against GOLD". The purpose of a currency is to facilitate trades AND be a useful value storage tool.

The idea behind it is how one looks at bitcoin. As a speculative asset you hold just to increase your wealth? Or as a currency people use daily. There's nothing wrong with holding bitcoin. Just that there are a lot people viewing it as an asset such as gold. Bitcoin is not meant to be an asset, it is meant to be used as a currency. That is why OP says that storing bitcoin is against the purpose of bitcoin
