I run a Bitcoin lightning node on a small Raspberry Pi, and I use Bitcoin for p2p payments. So from my perspective, Bitcoin is both a great store of value and a good currency. But since this thread is about an altcoin: Almost no other altcoin enables me to run my own fully-validating node on cheap hardware. And that is 100% a requirement I have since the whole point of crypto to reduce trust to a minimum. I don't know about the details of Chia, but as far as I know most coins with "smart contracts" built into the blockchain require expensive full nodes, so I personally do not see much appeal.
