Bitcoin's primary function is not "store of value" - that's a result of its primary function. Bitcoin is "fuck you money." For example: You want to seize my accounts? Fuck you. You don't want me to buy ______? Fuck you. You want to steal my wealth via inflation? Fuck you.

Bitcoin miners don't "solve complicated math problems." They make 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 guesses per second @ permutations of an 80 byte block header until they find one with a hash that has enough leading zeroes. Not complicated. Not a math problem. Just a lot of hard work.
