Can Bitcoin Survive as a Store of Value Only?
#Bitcoin can technically survive without being used as a #MediumOfExchange, especially until 2140, thanks to #BlockRewards keeping #Miners incentivized. After that, it relies on #TransactionFees, so minimal activity (e.g., occasional transfers) could sustain it long-term as a #StoreOfValue. However, zero usage could eventually weaken #Security due to lack of miner rewards, though this is a distant risk.
