That's an odd definition of money. The ancient Greeks already thought that money is medium of exchange AND a store of value, and throughout history people have preferred money that held its value. It's also circular reasoning. A medium of exchange should lose value, so you should use money that loses value.
> you can instead "buy" a savings, or "buy" an index fund
So money that loses value creates inefficiencies in the economy, because people have to waste time worrying about preserving their wealth, investing, etc.
> You struggle with letting go with your currency
I still need to eat, to live somewhere, I want to experience things, a money that increases in value does not destroy my desire to consume.
