HODL, with all respect money is not a store of value cash is. The very etymology of the word is exactly that, which is why you have a cache in your browser - to store things of value you can retrieve later when needed. Money is that cash which was monopolise by the Roman Empire and ‘minted’. The English word ‘money’ comes from the Latin ‘Moneta’ and has nothing to do with storing value. This is exactly why Satoshi called it Bitcoin cash in the white paper and the coins are mined not minted. Mining is proof for work, minted is proof of authority or centralised control.

no, coins were invented to make payment possible without scales. this led to debasement, where alloys allowed cheaper coins people were fooled were pure gold and were not. the word comes from the fact that gold is not a base metal, but copper and zinc are. cash does refer to storage. money refers to recognised denominations. bitcoin utxos are coins with arbitrary denomination, and payments can merge or split them, not convenient with gold (scales) but easy with bytes. people did not live in the thrall of governments before the invention of parliaments most of history.
