It's also fine to highlight Satoshi talked about Bitcoin like gold since the beginning, as well as electronic cash, which people always omit when saying he deemed it to be cash not gold. He introduced the terminology of mining as a direct reference to gold mining [0]. Sure it didn't make it to the title, but the whole premise of Bitcoin being non-falsifiable and it's distribution outside of central banks' control is very much core to the whole thing. Arguably more so than being an e-cash, if it was just about sending cash on the Internet, he would've been making CashApp.
FWIW, I don't even own a dime of crypto, I just find it disingenuous every time people bring up "it's failed to live up to it's email title so bitcoiners moved goalposts" as some sort of smack down, when those goalposts were set before the network even went live.
