Yes, that is why there definitely is a fundamental difference, since labor always produces value, while the holding of money may be for an abundance of reasons.
Who are you, David Ricardo? Read some economics past the 1860s. Labor absolutely does not always produce value. If I dig a hole and fill it in I am in the same position as not having worked at all.
