Today's currency is all digital and is just a number, yet we say "we're sending it". You're taking the metaphor too literally.

Digital doesn't automatically mean that it's not geographically bound. If the servers that store it, banks that manage the accounts, state that issues the currency, and businesses that accept the currency are all geographically bound, digital currency is geographically bound. Crypto is less geographically bound by nature, because it's a distributed ledger. And the more successful crypto ledgers are globally distributed and this not really geographically bound.
