Bitcoin was always store of value, man. Yes, it had to transact and settle value to store it, but with 10 minute blocks and multiple confirms recommended, whoever thought this was going to be a payments system was fooling themselves, not being fooled.
Payments are built on top, with others tools and even corporate services, etc. Corporate services offering assistance with this clunky but sovereign settlement system is inevitable and good for the Boomers who hold all the wealth and Bitcoin is for everyone, even Boomers. They just come on their own terms. They like trusting institutions. So be it.
Institutions are just as valid users of Bitcoin as individuals.
