Money is a store of value, nothing more.

Not quite:

"Money's a matter of functions four,

A Medium, a Measure, a Standard, a Store"

Well I think a medium and a measure are implicit in a store, otherwise you couldn't store them. A standard can be rather loose, when people were using wampum, beaver pelts or cowry shells as money those items weren't all of the exact same, size, shape or color but it was understood that they were a store of value.
