RE: Could bitcoin be a good long term store of value just because we say it is?

Yes, I believe so too, it's quite scary when the market value rises so much as it has been doing for the last year, because the mining energy consumption (measured in fiat) will grow (slightly delayed) linearly with the bitcoin value - and that's not sustainable. Even if the market price stabilizes at the current level, bitcoin mining will drive up energy prices worldwide, possibly enough that ordinary folks may get upset from this.
