I don't think of these categories as intersecting circles, but rather as subsets of each other.
"Asset" is the broadest category for things of financial value.
"Currencies" are a type of asset that are primarily valued for their value in exchange.
"Money" is a type of currency that also serves as a store of value and unit of account, as well as being universally accepted as payment within the community.
Eventually, I expect bitcoin to emerge as the one real money, at which time it will also be the only currency.

That was my thought too. The circles are not perfectly aligned because fiat has distorted how we think about money so severely. Bitcoin aligns these circles and I'm right in the middle.
