Exactly!

If one just reads the first two sentences of the Bitcoin white paper ("A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending.") it's easy to see that the idea is NOT to be an asset within a control system.

I hope that you keep on hammering that point home.
