Long-Term Value Store

Definition

A long-term value store is an asset expected to maintain or increase its purchasing power over extended periods. Investors hold such assets with the expectation that they will reliably preserve wealth against inflation and economic instability over many years. In the digital asset space, certain cryptocurrencies, particularly those with a capped supply and strong network effects, are frequently presented as digital alternatives to traditional value stores like gold. Their perceived scarcity and resistance to censorship contribute to this narrative.
