Naval Ravikant, a renowned investor and venture capitalist, expressed his views on Bitcoins BTC/USD role as a primary store of value.

What Happened: On Friday past midnight, Ravikant took to X, formerly Twitter, to write, Perhaps Bitcoin is the true L1 (the store of value) and every other chain is competing for L2 (the medium of exchange).

Over the years, Bitcoins narrative as a store of value and inflation hedge has been aggressively promoted by its passionate advocates. The narrative has been strengthened by King Cryptos staggering 109x value jump in the last 10 years, a feat that is yet to be equaled by assets from traditional finance, including gold the widely accepted store of value asset.

On the other hand, blockchains like Ethereum ETH/USD and Solana SOL/USD have increasingly grown as mainstream payment platforms due to the issuance of dollar-pegged stablecoins.
