That is inaccurate to the definition of the word “store.”
I have stored a **record** of it, which you can redeem for me later if you trust it to do the same, but the actual milk has not been stored. The original gallon was consumed.
The milk is objectively not being stored. Money just lets me get milk again (or equivalent in orange juice, or a hard drive) if more is produced in the future.
And a critical reason we use money in the first place is specifically BECAUSE all other goods deteriorate or rot.
