Well it just depends what the alternative is, doesn't it? Why save in anything? Why save in Bitcoin? If you had 1 bitcoin, and sold it 365 days ago to buy silver, and sold your silver today to buy back bitcoin, you'd have 2.5 bitcoin. If the goal is to accrue value, then you save in whatever does that!

What drives value at the end of the day is STORIES. Things like inflation, liquidity, etc., these are just various plot points that we can use or not use in the stories we tell. But in the end the value of a given money comes down to how persuaded people are by that money's story. Money is simply trade-able persuasion.
