is Bitcoin really a hedge against inflation and has it failed at being a store of value?

Imagine you're in Ukraine you put all your funds into Bitcoin and then the market tanks right when you touch down into a different country, do you sell at a loss so you can start surviving in a different country or do you hold on tight and try to figure it out?

Is something really a hedge against inflation if the value of the currency keeps dropping quicker than inflation? Or does none of that matter because once we hit the Bull run it's game on?

These are important questions that we need to be asking ourselves. And for these reasons I'm starting to believe that etherium and other networks such as Avalanche might be the real hedge against inflation because you can earn interest staking or take a big risk and enter a liquidity pool.

Yes you can loan out your Bitcoin and earn minimal interest like 4%, but is it worth it when places like Celsius get wrecked? And then we got stable coins, that could be a store of value but what happens when that currency de-pegs?

I want to know what you guys think?

Personally I'm going to keep DCA no matter what because I'm in too deep and I really believe we're going to blast off on the next Bull run when the halving happens. But the questions that I asked are legitimate questions and can those questions be argued still? or are those arguments dead thanks to a bear Market?
