If the store-of-value asset is centrally controlled, corruption is possible by that controller. If the asset is created, then excessive creation leads to inflationary effects and mis-use of the power. A hard to find, unchanging metal like gold was an attempt at both, but I think it will not work this time. But I have been wrong before ....
The entire problem, could be solved with a store of value that couldn't be increased and couldn't be corrupted. A free market economy has been corrupted by collusion and force in the past once or twice before. An equal system, where citizens make the decisions was tried, but that was also corrupted slowly but surely. And here we are today.
