False imo. Satoshi compared Bitcoin to gold (a settlement layer, not a payment mechanism) on 6 separate occasions, and Hal Finney in '10 described the architecture of payments layer built on top of the main chain settlement layer.

@Suitpossum whats your take on this argument? -
I'm not sure what the argument is. Gold's use as jewelry is a different phenomenon to its use as money. The very concept of 'store of value' as applied to gold by Nick means 'exchangeable for money'
-
Display of wealth and store of wealth are very far from being mutually exclusive uses of an object in most cultures. Modern Western culture makes a very sharp dichotomy between "money" and "jewelry" but that is our culture, not the historical cultural norm.
