The Yuan, the Lempira, the US Dollar?

People have accepted different ways to exchange goods, store value throughout history. Or even before history. How are those ways 'truer' besides the fact that enough groups of people, at certain point, accepted them?

Bitcoin is new. It might or it might not stick around. Right now, it seems quite a bit of people are willing to accept it as a store of value. I am skeptical if it will work well to exchange goods on a daily basis. Or even if will stick as a store of value. But I am also willing to make a few $ while this plays out. I am not happy with the Trumpist acceptance of it. As we are all well aware, everything he touches turns to shit.
