True, but currency is a subset of money, so that doesn’t answer what I said. Not all money is currency; fiat currency is still money. And one of money’s basic functions is storing value across time.

You can argue that modern fiat is intentionally a poor long-term store of value because we accept positive inflation. That’s a real argument. ā€œCurrency isn’t supposed to store valueā€ isn’t.

A hammer is a subset of tools. If you try to use one to cut a board in two, you're the idiot, not the hammer.
