A key property of a "store of value" is that it is stable. Historically, yes, it is an extremely good investment if you got in earlier. If you got in recently not so much.
Another way to think of it is this way. If you were to owe someone 'x' number of BTC from a commitment you made several years back, would you still be happy about it. If you had to do payouts and you did it twice per month, and BTC went up 20% since then, now you have to pay out 20% more as well. Poor store of value.

Today is earlier than tomorrow. And that will stay true for every next day. Are you mixing up "store of value" with "medium of exchange"?
For reference, "store of value":
Quote:
A store of value is the function of an asset that can be saved, retrieved and exchanged at a later time, and be predictably useful when retrieved. More generally, a store of value is anything that retains purchasing power into the future
