And yeah bitcoin is volatile and it is not guaranteed to go up, yet it seems that at the same time it is amongst the best of places (if not the best of places) to be putting value for a large number of people around the world in terms of whatever that they are able to save up for a couple of cycles or longer.. then it is likely that their purchasing power is going to be better preserved by keeping the value in bitcoin as compared with any other place that it can be kept.
Of course nothing is guaranteed yet bitcoin is much more compared to every other asset, looking at the past of bitcoin and how well it has performed there is no much asset that is better than bitcoin for a long term investment even though there are other forms of investment that might be profitable yet bitcoin seems to be out performing them. Bitcoin as a store of value is one of the most underrated by low coiners or no coiners for the mere fact that it's volatile whereas it's volatile nature is one of the most adorable features that it has as it creates more opportunities for one to buy at a cheaper price.
