It seems to me that bitcoin proponents will change between saying that it's useful for transactions and useful for storing value depending on what's convenient for the argument. If the point of Bitcoin is to be the cyberpunk version of gold where the founder gets 5% of the total global value it seems a niche technology at best. And if it's that, let's stop calling it a cryptocurrency and just call it cryptogold.
