It was not created to do anything of the sort.

  Oh, and that's why the guy/guys used a pseudonym? It was exactly created for that purpose - (pseudo)anonymous electronic cash equivalent, which has just one purpose.

    You said it was created to keep us independent from wall street and government. And then you suggested that wall st's participation in btc would be detrimental if not an existential threat (?) to btc as a medium of exchange. Is that an unfair characterization? I'm pretty sure satoshi created btc to make a ton of money. All ideological attachments to that endeavor seem to have been added by other people who may or may not understand his/their motivation.

      We can speculate why Bitcoin was created and who did it - I won't be surprised if it was created by the US government either. My formulation was wrong given we know nothing for sure, but at least the early adopters and promoters used that as what the purpose of Bitcoin is.
