You are grossly mistaken, Knowing the difference between money and currency is not a nuances of economics, it is the base of it. Do you know what happens when you play a game with experts and you don't know the basics of the game? (because it seems that is what many of the people in cyrpto are doing). It is truly amazing that in as short a time as 1933 people can completely forget what money is. What's so amazing is, it's name is cyrpto-CURRENCY and people are still thinking it is, and calling it MONEY.
When you get cyrpto currency what are you trying to get away from? U.S. Currency you are not trying to get away from U.S money because everyone knows that is gold and silver. People are just not thinking all they see is potential profit. Forget what they say in the movie greed is not good, it blinds you. It's like I'm in the twilight zone! People want to get rid of their dollars. Why? Because there is nothing backing them. But you know you can take these worthless dollars and buy something. why? Because some people don't know what happen in 1933, and if that's not bad enough people don't know what happen in 1972! So they still will take your dollars, We have been separated from the idea of what money is so now anything can be currency. Crazy thing is people are so disconnect from the past, that I'm the one that sounds like a mad man. This is what happen in the book 1984 where they had a memory hole. And all the things they wanted the people to forget went into the memory hole. These days the idea of money has been dropped into the memory hole, and all that is left is currency. But if you don't know how one is connected to another, It's all (suppose to be) good!
