Technology as a Store of Value

The main problem with crypto is the fact that it is technology rather than a raw material.

While raw materials are limited by God, and impossible to improve, technology is something continuously evolving. What is high tech today is obsolete tomorrow. However, a raw material remains a raw material. The demand may vary with time, but its fundamental properties can never become obsolete.

The idea that technology can be a store of value is naive, if not right out insane. When did technology ever store any value? Why do people think that crypto can compete with raw materials as a store of value? It's simply baffling.

Bitcoin is already an outdated technology, and will never function as everyday currency. Yet, its price keeps going up.
