Have you considered that one of your base assumptions that you can 'store value' is false?
All value us future value. You can't store it. You can make a bet on a piece of capital. Gold has been a decent bet, but far from stable. Bitcoin is just another bet.
Also, btc has a significant long term risk as well. The system is terrible for an interstellar economy. You can't have a blockchain when you have to wait light years for payment confirmations. Maybe this isn't a big deal in the short run, but if you're looking really long term, it is an issue.
A couple of other things to consider in your favor, bitcoin is going to have significant uses in the short term that don't involve holding it. It is a transfer medium and a protocol. Having a stake in the protocol will be very valuable.
