Normally, I think that someone who has gained education about financial management and investment dealings should know that during investment, you don't invest everything you have without realizing that there are times when some unforseen circumstances could arise and will require you to spend some cash, and at that moment, the person might be stranded because they forgot to prepare for an emergency.

Let me give you a little story. While I was growing up, I usually went to the farm with my grandmother, and any time we were going to the farm, she always went along with some money. When I noticed it, I asked her why she was always going to farm with money. I asked her if there was any shop at the farm where she could buy something with the money, and she said "No", but what she also said was that, " we should always prepare ourself for some unforseen incident that money can just solve." One day we went to the farm, and on our way back home, the fuel on the motorcycle ran out. We rolled the motorcycle to a nearby filling station close to the farm road, bought refiled the fuel tank of the motorcycle and drove back home.

Sorry for that creepy story, but the truth is that when you invest, you should also keep some money for your needs and maybe for any emergencies that can arise. One law of economics is that human needs are insatiable. So, always make your budgets and also save a little Fiat for emergencies; then you can invest the rest. By doing so, if you are investing in Bitcoin, you will not really be tempted to sell off your holdings in the short term. That's because even before any emergencies arise, you always have a backup.


Well, to clarify that, first, what is a store of value?


Bitcoin is an asset that can be saved and exchanged in the future without its value deteriorating, so I think that makes it serve an investment purpose too. Even with that, it doesn't mean that Bitcoin isn't still fulfilling the P2P purpose by fulfilling payments for online transactions.
