I think people who say the recent market crash proves that Bitcoin's use case as a Store of Value are missing the point. BTC was never intended to be a panacea that would protect it's holders from every possible type of market downturn. Rather, the "Store of Value" narrative speaks towards Bitcoin's resilience against a very specific type of economic crisis, namely the collapse of the fractional reserve banking system, and the resulting carnage.

I expect Bitcoin to go down more - a lot more - before it goes up again.

But when that belief has been shattered - that's the use case Bitcoin has been "Storing your Value" for, and when it comes, I hope everyone here is ready.
It sounds to me a very good reason to invest heavier in bitcoin....
