Yes it was the goal of the creator of the coin to have a currency that may replace the fiat currency... snip
It's not in Satoshi's vision to take over the traditional monetary system in place but rather create a trust-less payment system which can also be used to store value for assets. He/she/they may have done it so by creating bitcoin, but the most important part of the said creation is actually the concept of blockchain. It's funny how the governments and financial institutions are praising the blockchain tech while completely ignoring the system that is fueled by the said protocol. They're coming up with these crazy ideas on creating their own cryptocurrency or distributed tokens that uses blockchain as a form of ledger just like what bitcoin has.
Ask someone in a third world country if they care about AI and quantum computing.
Not everyone cares about it, but there's someone out there that is concerned about the advancements of AI since their country could be a testbed for such experiments which, we know (in the movies and theoretical projections) will not end well most of the time.
