store of value
Asset preserving purchasing
A store of value is something that retains its worth over time and can be exchanged later for goods or services.
Gold, real estate, and stable currencies function as stores of value.
The concept is central to economics and debates about money: Bitcoin proponents argue it serves as a store of value like gold.
A good store of value resists inflation and maintains purchasing power.
