I've seen yesterday a nice tweet, although old.
Bitcoin's primary function is not "store of value" - that's a result of its primary function.
Bitcoin is "fuck you money."
For example:
You want to seize my accounts? Fuck you.
You don't want me to buy ______? Fuck you.
You want to steal my wealth via inflation? Fuck you.
I will add that, as Jameson Lopp also wrote, the store of value part comes from the primary functionality.
And while the so much claimed gold and such are not as rare as some choose to believe, Bitcoin scarcity is programmed and 100% clear.
I will also add something directly to OP, more specifically to this:
Keeping in mind the most important factor, without gold and silver, all electronic equipment wouldn't exist = bitcoin would not exist. Computers, phones, tv's, etc ALL require silver and gold to be manufactured.
Based on your logic, copper, quartz/sand (SiO2) and plastic are also a store of value. Be my guest in storing your funds in that.
