Cash --> Cache --> "a place to store valuable things"
Think, supply-cache, weapons-cache, data-cache.
Value is subjective, and ironically, cash leaks value more than anything; it's a very poor incarnation of a cache.

The word cash may have evolved from cache, but evolution generally happens for a reason. They are 2 distinct words. Bitcoin is not a P2P electronic cache system.
This evolution happened because the existing words "currency" & "dollar" weren't inspiring enough confidence in people, so the word "cache"was hijacked to imply "dollar means value."
Pretty shitty reason IMO. I consider satoshi's use of the word in the title a perpetuation of its confusing history.
Yes but money converges to one asset.
